Famous trials 6
This sixth volume in the Penguin Famous Trials series contains four cases, including that of John George Haigh, the Kensington mass-murderer.
The case of Thurtell and Hunt, although it was no more than a sordid murder for gain, evokes the days of the swindlers, sharpers, cut-purses, rogues, and gamblers who infested the more seamy quarters of society in the early nineteenth century.

The trial of Peter Barnes makes a fascinating case study in the I.R.A. terrorist movement of the late thirties, and an extremely useful summary of that movement is included in the book.

Finally there is the case of John George Haigh. The abnormal personality of this callous murderer-his vanity, his social charm, his erratic intelligence-stamped itself unforgettably on the mind of the public in the late 1940s. This 'man-at-the-next-door-table', befriending rich old ladies in a Kensington hotel, provided a classic comment on the uprooted standards of post-war Britain. Vissza
