About the Author Vanessa Morgan has worked as a genealogist for 20 years and has written many articles for genealogical magazines. She regularly gives talks on Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Birmingham murders. She lives in Redditch, Worcestershire. Product Description This chilling collection brings together true-life historical murders that shocked not only the city but frequently made headline news throughout the country. Cases featured here include riots in 1791, a bank robbery in 1844, and an arson attack in 1912. Murder most foul also raises its ugly head, with John Thompson stabbing his common-law wife in a fit of drunken jealousy in 1861, and Mary Albion being murdered in her bed when a robbery went wrong in 1898. Vanessa Morgan's well-illustrated and enthralling text will appeal to everyone interested in true crime and the shadier side of Birmingham's past.
