The historic city of Lincoln has a history going back to the Romans
and a catalogue of crimes to match it. John Haig, the acid-bath
murderer, was born in nearby Stamford and was imprisoned in Lincoln
where he experimented on small animals to perfect his acid-bath
techniques. The city also has its share of women who drowned
unwanted babies in the nearby River Witham, and husbands who beat
their wives to death. Then there is the poacher who shot and killed
a gamekeeper in the woods near Lincoln, and the borstal boy who
took a shine to the matron but battered her to death with a chair
when she rebuked his advances. Combining meticulous research with
evocative photography, the author provides a feast of crime to
haunt the imagination of any reader interested in criminal and
local history.
