District by district, this "Guide" shows how the character of a London borough is reflected in the murders taking place there -- servant-related murder in Belgravia, gangland homicide in the East End, domestic killings under the guise of middle class respectability in Holloway. The reader can find and visit major murder sites all over the Capitol. Maps show the distribution of London murders and provide a handy key to murderers' names. If you are only an armchair ghoul, this book provides a diverting narrative, detailing all the classic cases from Jack the Ripper to Dennis Nilsen.
