Over the centuries North London has witnessed literally thousands
of murders: those included within the pages of this book have
shocked, fascinated and enthralled the public and commentators for
generations. Some were milestones in the annals of crime detection.
provided by a distinctive style of hat, to the appalling story of
two Islington woman convicted after 'disposing of' babies in their
care, these are crimes that both horrified and captivated the
public. No volume covering the murders of this part of London would
be complete without an examination of the Crippen case; the name of
Frederick Henry Seddon, hanged for poisoning Miss Eliza Barrow, is
now less well known, although for several decades his waxwork
effigy was a popular exhibit at Madame Tussaud's Chamber of Horrors
and his story is an extraordinary one. Among other cases included
here, North London Murders also re-examines the crimes of serial
'bride'-killer George Joseph Smith, the tragic story of Ruth Ellis
and David Blakely, and the killing of Joe Orton by Kenneth
Halliwell. and contemporary newspaper reports, North London Murders
is a study of cases that have shocked both capital and country.
