A riveting history of true crimes in the area over the centuries, with photos and illustrations.
From Islington to Finsbury Park to Hackney Wick, the North London area has been the setting of countless crimes from the notorious to the obscure. In this book, Geoffrey Howse delves into the files covering hundreds of years of the area's darkest past. Events covered include long forgotten cases that made the headlines in their day as well as others more famous:
  • the seventeenth-century murder of a magistrate for which three innocent men were hanged
  • Britain's first railway murder
  • the first criminal to be caught via wireless telegraphy
  • the anarchists who left a trail of murder and mayhem following a raid on a Tottenham factory
  • and many more that will fascinate those with an interest in the local and social history of London
