Since the dawn of humankind conflict has been a part of society. And committing murder - the premeditated act of taking another life - is the most gross of all. The reasons given for murder are wide and various - from financial gain, jealousy and politics to the perpetrator with an unbalanced mind. And the methods adopted both to kill and dispose of the body are as imaginative as they are horrific. In this book we trace the last 500 years of murders in London. They all have something in common - in that they have an uncommon aspect to them. Whether it is the motive, the method used to kill or the disposal of the body, each story gives us an insight into the mind of the killer. However after each crime, there is the investigation and hopefully an arrest and conviction. Within these pages we will learn just how difficult it is to get away with murder. Finally there are the methods of execution used in the past and we learn what it was like to be a prisoner in the condemned cell. However not all sentences were carried out - if you knew what to say, you could often walk away from the court a free person. But many were not so lucky. There were even a few who refused to die. From the sixteenth to the twentieth century all horrific and weird murders and their consequences are here. Fully illustrated throughout with photographs.
