A Companion To Murder: An A-Z of Notorious Killers and Sensational Trials by Edward Spencer Shew & Theodore Dalrymple
Requirements: ePub or Mobi viewer, 2.8 MB
Overview: ***Winner of The 1963 Edgar Special Award, presented by The Mystery Writers of America***
"Shew was a master of concision, who could convey atmosphere and character in a few exquisitely chosen words" - Theodore Dalrymple
THIS A-Z COMPENDIUM of dramatic murders, notorious criminals and eccentric lawyers offers a fascinating insight into British crime in a bygone age.
Edward Spencer Shew - the leading court reporter of his day - covered scores of murder trials in the early 1900s.
He watched the most notorious killers fight for their lives in the dock - alongside many others who are now long-forgotten.
Some succeeded; but many did not, and a date with the hangman followed swiftly.
Spencer Shew collected his insights in A COMPANION TO MURDER, an all-time true-crime classic.
It's a compelling and beautifully-written book full of descriptions so vivid that to close one's eyes for a moment is to be transported back half a century and more to the forbidding, wood-panelled courtrooms of London's Old Bailey, with a hanging judge looking down from his high pulpit, eyes narrowed, mouth set in stone…
This e-book includes dozens of photographs, updates to many of the cases featured, and a foreword by the distinguished doctor and author Theodore Dalrymple, who cites A COMPANION TO MURDER among his favourite books.
Genre: Non-Fiction / General
