About this listen
Five fascinating themes of criminal history, from cunning inmates who escaped the executioner to the shadowy world of traitors and spies. Through shocking cases and dramatic trials, this book illuminates some of the darkest corners of the human story.
*HANGING BY A THREAD unveils prisoners who somehow cheated the gallows through luck or deceit. Like John Lee, due to hang for murder but spared after the trap door failed three times. Condemned prisoners who somehow evaded execution through luck or cunning. We follow the infamous Iron Man of Hull who killed two women, was jailed and freed repeatedly, until public outcry demanded he be locked away for good. In 19th century New York, Maria Barberi, dubbed the "Angel of the Tombs", won jury sympathy amid emotional press coverage and escaped the noose.
*JEKYLL AND HYDE SYNDROME probes the inner discord behind split personalities, where an upright citizen harbors a violent other self. This includes the disturbing 1920s case of Ronald True, a respectable Londoner who claimed "his other identity" murdered a prostitute, exemplifying the havoc wreaked when good and evil clash within one mind.
*LEFT LUGGAGE MURDERS explores chilling cases where victims' remains surfaced in abandoned luggage, their bodies callously discarded. Such as the 1920s London trunk murder, where a killer chopped up a woman and left her in a train station suitcase. And a decade later, another accused killer faced the court for a similarly gruesome slaying.
*ROYALTY AND THEIR ASSASSINS chronicles the constant threat faced by royalty, from the 1800s murder of Tsar Alexander II to assassination plots against King George III. We delve into the envy and rage that drove attacks on figures like Queen Draga of Serbia.
*TRAITORS AND TREASON dives into the perplexing psyches of turncoats like Cold War defector Alger Hiss. Or Sir Roger Casement, who exposed heinous abuses against Africans by European colonists, only to turn against Britain in WWI by siding with Irish rebels and Germany. Casement paid the ultimate price, executed by the same nation that once knighted him for his work.
