FOUL DEEDS AND SUSPICIOUS DEATHS IN BLACKBURN & HYNDBURN (SIGNED)

Softcover. SIGNED. An excellent new book in which the author describes in 11 chilling chapters, important and interesting cases of murder, manslaughter and mischief from the Victorian times until the 1920s. Some of the crimes were so horrible that they attracted national interest, but others - including some suicides and 'accidental deaths' have been forgotten until now. The author's empathy for local history becomes apparent due to his careful interpretation of the events and their aftermath. Profusely illus., Bibliog. and Index. 160pp. 8vo. softcover. With publisher's label tipped-in and SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. New.
