Murderers' London

Over 200 bizarre, mysterious, gruesome, or just plain vicious slayings are detailed in this chilling compendium of metropolitan murder. They range in time from the slaying of Edmund Ironside in 1016 to the still unsolved murder of Gloria Booth in 1971. Famous cases such as Crippen, Christie, Seddon, Wainwright, Cream, appear of course, but also included are many which are less well known to the general reader, but which nevertheless have some special interest of their own.
