Norwich Murders

A former police chief re-examines key murders in England's criminal history using modern detection methods. Norwich Murders is an in-depth account of history-making murders in Norfolk county, England that have gripped the public imagination for over two centuries. Author and historian Maurice Morson, the former head of the Norfolk CID, re-investigates some of Norwich's most notorious murders using modern research techniques. Readers of this fascinating book will act as a new judge and jury, reflecting upon long-gone police practices and applying up-to-date thinking to old cases. Among the crimes reconstructed in vivid detail are murders of lovers and marriage partners, murders committed during robberies, the murder of a policeman and a judge, and murders motivated by passion or rage. A selection of gruesome, despicable, sad, pitiful and harrowing criminal tales is recorded here for the modern readers who will gain an unforgettable insight into the greatest of crimes: the taking of another's life.
