From the pen of celebrated Liverpool author, Richard Whittington-Egan, Liverpool Murders is an astonishing catalogue of untimely death, laying bare the unsavoury history of that great city.
At times impulsive and crude, at others ingenious and meticulously planned, murder stalks its victims in many guises. Take Joseph Reginald Victor Clarke, a sophisticated seducer who clung to his victims "like the mistletoe, that parasite of love", then attacked like savage. His charm did not desert him, even at the gallows, where a crowd of 200, mostly young women, gathered to sigh a final fond farewell.
Not all the poisoners, throat cutters, stranglers and bludgeoners were brought to justice, and some of the most notorious suffered nothing more than the pangs of their own conscience.
