Scotland Yard's Crime Museum - better known as the Black Museum - is where 150 years' worth of dark secrets find their home. The Museum is closed to the public, but Gordon Honeycombe has been granted privileged access to its classified records, and this book reveals the stories behind twenty of Britain's most notorious - and mysterious - murders.
Some of the most high-profile and shocking cases in recent history are included: Donald Nielson (the Black Panther), necrophiliac Dennis Nilsen, Ruth Ellis - the last woman to be hanged here. Due to Gordon's unparalleled access into Scotland Yard archives, this book contains information on these killers which is just not available elsewhere.
"Excellent writing and research" - Ruth Rendell
