Description

London: Crime, Death & Debauchery is an alternative history of the darker side of Britain's capital city.

No other book on London covers this topic in such a complete fashion, with cases ranging from the Restoration to the early nineteenth century.

It weaves macabre accounts into an entertaining criminal history accessible to all.

Featuring countless stories of infamous misdeeds and scandalous behaviour, the book includes duelling, murder, gaol breaks, rioting, body snatchers, robbery, suicide, drinking, infanticide, gambling, highwaymen, fraud and executions.

Illustrated with a series of engravings, drawings and photographs that help to paint a picture of historic London's seedier side, Neil R.

Storey brings together a selection of tales to shock, scare and entertain.
