' We are a trading community, a commercial people. Murder is doubtless a very shocking offence, nevertheless as what is done is not to be undone, let us make our money out of it.' Punch Murder in the 19th century was rare. But murder as sensation & entertainment became ubiquitous -- transformed into novels, into broadsides & ballads, into theatre & melodrama & opera -- even into puppet shows & performing dog-acts. In this meticulously researched & compelling book, Judith Flanders -- author of ' The Victorian House' -- retells the gruesome stories of many different types of murder -- both famous & obscure. From the crimes (and myths) of Sweeney Todd & Jack the Ripper, to the tragedies of the murdered Marr family in London's East End, Burke & Hare & their bodysnatching business in Edinburgh, & Greenacre who transported his dismembered fiancee around town by omnibus. With an irresistible cast of swindlers, forgers, & poisoners, the mad, the bad & the dangerous to know, ' The Invention of Murder' is both a gripping tale of crime & punishment, & history at its most readable. ...

Few historical figures are as well-known as Napoleon Bonaparte, & yet the Emperors ten-month exile on the small island of Elba is virtually unexplored.

Now, for the first time, we have a window into this critical moment when the most powerful man on earth turns defeat into one final challenge.

A close character study mixed with a world-shaking drama, The Invisible Emperor will show Napoleon as hes never before been seen: as heart-broken husb&, civil engineer, interior decorator, gardener & spy master.

It will show a man at his nadir rise up against the global odds to build a miniature island empire, turn his two greatest foes into his closest confidantes, & return to France without firing a single shot.
