Relating the stories of  more than a dozen murders in the old borough and city of Leicester   between   1832   and   1966, Leicester Murders chronicles the progress made in the investigation of homicides in the town over a period of more than 100 years.

Taking the reader from a time when the bodies of convicted criminals were - as a warning to others - hung in metal gibbets at  the  approach  to  the  town, to  more enlightened days when capital punishment is   no   more,  t his   book   provides   a fascinating insight into the criminal justice system during the last century.
