This is a new paperback version for 2011. It includes absorbing real life accounts of nearly every reported murder that took place in the Birmingham area during the twentieth century. It features well-known cases and those which are lesser known but equally fascinating tales of jealousy, revenge and tragedy. Although Birmingham is England's second city, its inhabitants have proved to be much less inclined to kill their fellows than in other ares of the country, but those who have picked up the knife, cocked the gun, or wielded the blunt instrument have done so for a myriad of reasons and their stories make interesting reading. Within the pages of "Murderous Birmingham" are all the stories of the men who committed murder within the immediate area of the city of Birmingham during the 20th century, and who went on the pay the ultimate penalty of death at the end of the rope. Since the would not include every execution in the city's jail, there is an appendix which details other Birmingham hangings and so the true crime historian can use this as a complete reference work. For others it will simply make absorbing reading about a darker side of this city.
