The Invention Of Murder - How The Victorians Revelled In Death And
The Invention Of
Murder - How The
Victorians Revelled
In Death And
£10.99
' 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. ...

The Invisible Emperor
The Invisible Emperor
£4.00
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.

The Invisible Ones
£3.99
Small-time private investigator Ray Lovell veers between paralysis & delirium in a hospital bed. But before the accident that landed him there, he had promised to find Rose Janko. Rose was married to the charismatic son of a travelling gypsy family, Ivo Janko. When Ray starts to investigate her disappearance he's surprised that her family are so hostile towards him. The Jankos have not had an easy past. They are a clan touched by tragedy
- either they are cursed, or they are hiding a terrible secret. Could it be that Rose's discovery of that secret led to her disappearance all those years ago?
