A 'black plaque' guide to London's most captivating crime scenes.
DAVID LONG is the author of numerous books about the quirkier, lesser-known aspects of London's long history, including The Little Book of London, Tunnels, Towers and Temples- London's 100 Strangest Places, and, more recently, When Did Big Ben First Bong? He has been a writer and journalist for almost thirty years, with work appearing in the Sunday Times, the Sunday Mirror and the Evening Standard, among others.
Takes a unique geographical approach to London’s macabre past ...
An interesting addition to any decent collection of books about
London
*The Londoneer*
A deliciously dark and glossy compendium ... This is a great little
book, surprisingly full of detail and very well researched. The
stories are written with a humanity that is rarely found in a book
of this type
*Itsacrimeuk*
A fascinating if slightly uncomfortable tour of the capital's most
infamous crimes
*Londonist*
One of the joys of books like these (all right, joy may not be the
most appropriate word, but the author concedes at the start of his
introduction that 'everyone loves a good murder' as long as they're
merely reading about it as history) is that a variety of well-known
cases are included alongside several more obscure ones ... This is
undoubtedly a very useful work
