Carefully researched and written in an impartial way,these stories will demonstrate how, even hundreds of years ago, the authorities attempted to track down the culprits and bring them to justice. There are, however, cases where the crimes were never solved or - far worse - where four men were wrongly convicted for a crime they had not committed. In the more recent cases, the author has been at pains to respect the feelings of those involved, whilst ensuring the essence of the case is reported.
