Publisher's Synopsis
Allen Foster returns with this look at some of Ireland's most infamous and lesser-known murders in history - a murder miscellany, you might say. From Bridget Cleary and Patrick Dunphy (the oldest man to be executed in Britain or Ireland), to the Sherlock Holmes-like investigation into the death of WWII veteran James McParland, the tragic case of Lily Dotie and many more tales! This is a book full of victims and monsters, heroic detectives and false leads, killers escaping justice and mysterious unsolved cases.
