{"product_id":"unsolved-london-murders-jonathan-oates-9781845630751","title":"Unsolved London Murders: The 1920s \u0026 1930s","description":"Unsolved crimes have a special fascination, none more so than unsolved murders. The shock of the crime itself and the mystery surrounding it, the fear generated by the awareness a killer on the loose, the insight the cases give into outdated police methods, and the chance to speculate about the identity of the killer after so many years have passed - all these aspects of unsolved murder cases make them compelling reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this companion volume to his best-selling \u003ci\u003eUnsolved Murders of Victorian and Edwardian London\u003c\/i\u003e, Jonathan Oates has selected over 20 haunting, sometimes shocking cases from the period between the two world wars. Included are the shooting of PC James Kelly in Gunnersbury, violent deaths associated with Fenian Conspiracies, the stabbing of the French acrobat Martial Lechevalier in Piccadilly, the strychnine poisoning of egg-seller Kusel Behr, the killing by arsenic of three members of a Croydon family, and, perhaps most gruesome of all, the case of the unidentified body parts found at Waterloo Station.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJonathan Oates describes each of these crimes in precise, forensic detail. His case studies shed light on the lives of the victims and summon up the ruthless, sometimes lethal character of London itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Oates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845630750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845630751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wharncliffe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Jonathan Oates","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45180322021631,"sku":"9781845630751","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e267c4d6-5df7-4fea-a533-3db736a0e29c.jpg?v=1712897852","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unsolved-london-murders-jonathan-oates-9781845630751","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
