 TRUE TALES OF MURDER & MAYHEM - Volume #2

*MURDER BY GASLIGHT
The gaslit towns and cities of the 19th century have long fascinated criminologists. One has only to think of the appeal of Sherlock Homes in fogbound London. This was an era when a criminal like the master burglar Charles Peace (a capable violin player and a master of disguise), was able to steal, and kill, under cover of darkness. The story of his notorious career is complemented by the trial of James Blomfield Rush, who chose a stately home setting for his Victorian mass murder - and all because of greed..!

*ASSASSINS - SHADOWY DEATH DEALERS
The Russian revolutionary leader, Leon Trotsky who was exiled in Mexico, and murdered by a political fanatic who hacked him to death with an ice-pick, demonstrates that distance is no protection against the determined assassin. The famous trial accompanying this case is set in America and concerns an even more bizarre and infamous murder. This time the victim was President James Garfield, who fell victim to a religious maniac who believed he was the "tool" of an angry God.

*MILITARY MURDERS - SOLDIERS WHO SLAUGHTER
Murder in enclosed communities, such as a monastery or a military barracks, often produces the most obsessive type of murder. Read about the case of an Austrian Army officer who reached his chosen victims through their sexual vanity. Passed over for promotion and resentful, Lieutenant Adolf Hofrichter sent poisoned "potency pills" to his superiors. They worked all too well, although they also meant the ruin of Hofrichter's career. The trial is of the British army sergeant Emmett Dunne who, in 1953, was charged with the murder of a friend and comrade - with sexual gain as the motive, and was sentenced to death.

*GOOD TIMES GIRLS - PLEASURE SEEKING SISTERHOOD
They have been the bane of many men's lives and have often brought about their own deaths; the Good-Time Girls whose one idea is to have fun... sex, drink, drugs... while it lasts and not care about the cost or consequences. We trace their history back to Delilah, who tempted and destroyed Samson. This story concerns a beautiful young New York girl, Starr Faithful, whose name was indication enough. She was infatuated with the sea and with one sailor in particular. She hung around the docks where such glamorous liners as the Franconia, the Mauritania and the Ill-de France were often berthed. Her obsession and her ambivalent attitude towards sex, led to her tragic and still unexplained death. The featured trial in this book is equally bizarre, detailing the case of the unattractive Dorset housewife, Mrs. Charlotte Bryant, who was nevertheless able to attract a surprising number of lovers. But passion - and poison - took her to court and to the gallows.

*PIRATES - SAVAGE SEAFARING OUTLAWS
The 18th-century was one of the heydays of pirates, the men - and women - who made fortunes for themselves by taking other people's wealth. The most famous of all buccaneers is probably the Scottish born Captain William Kidd, who, for a time, was one of the corsairs operating from New York. His trial in London provided scandal and sensation a-plenty, and the site of his fabulous buried treasure is being sought to this day. The female counterpart of Kidd was the "lady" pirate, Anne Bonny, the so-called "Empress of the Spanish Main", whose sex life was as bold and exciting as any of her exploits at sea.
