In the aftermath of WW2Kim PhilbyNicholas Elliott and James Jesus Angleton were rising stars in the intelligence worldand firm friends. The three spies belonged to the same clubsdrank in the same barswore the same well-tailored suits and spoke in similar cut-glass accents.Philby and Elliott were the 'golden lads' of MI6Britain's secret intelligence service; Angleton was the brilliant young American chief of counter-intelligence at the CIA.For yearsthey shared every secret. But Philby had one secret he did not disclose: he wasall along covertly working for Moscowdivulging everything to his Soviet spymasterswith bloody consequences.Elliott and Angleton thought they knew Philby better than anyoneand then discovered they had known him not at all. This is a story of trust and treacheryclass and conscience; of an ideological battle between friendsexquisitely polite and perfectly ruthlesswaged in the comfortable clubs and restaurants of London and Washington; of male friendships forgedand then systematically betrayed. Told with access to newly released MI5 files and previously unseen family papers'A Spy Among Friends' is the story of the monumental deception which defined the Cold War espionage battle and sent hundreds to their deaths.The astonishing life of Kim Philbythe most notorious British defector and Soviet mole in historyis a tale of political loyalty and personal duplicity; a chilling examination of how far anyone can ever really know another human being.

Normanwho acted as official shorthand writer at Dickman's trialwrote a memorandum that exposed an alleged conspiracy to frame Dickman for Nisbet's murderbecause the judge and prosecuting counsel believed him guilty of the murder of Caroline Luardwhich remained officially unsolved. Drawing on recently released Home Office filesDiane Janes reveals the truth about C.H. Norman's strange involvement in the caseexposes the myth about Major-General Luard's 'unbreakable' alibi and raises a fascinating possibility about the proceeds of the train robbery.Vividly recreating the atmosphere of the Edwardian age'Edwardian Murder' bears all the hallmarks of a traditional period murder: steam trains revolversan isolated summerhouseretired army officers and parlour maidsto say nothing of conspiracy theoriesmurder suicidean execution and a love story.

In Whitechapel in 1888 at least five women were horribly murdered and mutilated.Their killer quickly became known as Jack the Ripper.Though there were many suspectsno one was ever caughtand over a hundred years later the world is still fascinated by the mystery. This book introduces a new suspect.It is a recently discovered memoir written in the 1920's by James Willoughby Carnaca man who claims to have been Jack the Ripper.It covers his life from childhood to deathincluding his account of those few terrible months in 1888. There is information in this memoir that does not appear to be derived from contemporary newspapers or other publications and the events of the time and the intricate geography of Whitechapel in 1888 are described with pinpoint accuracy. James gives a credible motive for becoming the murderer Jackas well as for ending the murders.These all point to this account being genuine. This is a fascinating and intriguing piece of writing.Ultimately it is for youthe readerto decide whether you believe the mystery has been solved at lastor whether this is one of the very earliest imaginings of the Ripper case.If soas it was written in the 1920'sit is a fascinating piece of period writing and a worthy addition to the Ripper canon.</p> LONDON.BANTAM PRESS, 2012. hardcover‎

The Elizabeth Canning trial produced one of the most intractable conflicts of evidence in English law.For Henry Fieldingmagistrate and novelistthere was no mystery.He believed implicitly in the scullery maid's story: that she had been knocked on the head near Bedlam Wall in the City of Londondragged 10 miles to Enfield Washwhere she was robbed of her stays - a crime punishable by death - and locked up for a month by an old gipsy woman and a bawd.Due largely to Fielding's adversariesDr John Hill and Sir Crisp Gascoyne Lord Mayor of Londonit was Canning herself who was to stand in the dock at the Old Bailey in 1754.For they gave support to the gipsywith Gascoyne's sonBamberacting as counsel. London divided into 'Canningnites' and 'Egyptians'and there was fighting in the streets.Over forty witnesses claimed the gipsy had been in Dorset some thought as a smuggleror as a government double agent while more than half this number testifiedequally positivelythat she had been in Enfield. When the verdict cameand Canning was to be taken in chains from Newgate Gaol and deported to the American coloniesa fresh storm of controversy was unleashed in newspapers broadsheetspetitions and ballads.Was she a frauda virgin or a slut To modern eyesCanning was arguably the first media productelevated by chance circumstance and the power of the printed word.In two centuries no one has examined the case so thoroughly as does John Treherne in this brilliant exposeor shed as much light on the truth of the matter.</p> LONDON.CAPE,1989. hardcover‎

"I opened the door and was horrified at what I saw.This was a bitterly cold winter's nightthe bedclothes on her bed had been pulled back and thrown over the bedrail at the base.Her nightdress had been folded back across her body up to her neck. All the bedroom windows had been flung open.A cold gust of wind was sweeping the bedroom.That was how the Doctor had left her." The deaths of the Neil-Miller sistersHilda and Clarathirteen months apart - Hilda on January 151953to be followed by Claraon February 22nda year latercaused no ripple on the placid sea of life in Eastbourne.Yet it was in their passingparticularly of Clarathat the two sisters came to the attention of othersincluding Detective Superintendent Herbert William Walter Hannam and Detective-Sergeant Charles Hewitt of New Scotland Yard's Murder Squad. And the reason for their department's particular interest A bequest to the Neil-Miller's doctorJohn Bodkin Adams of £5000 - not exactly the norm.Yet this same Doctor Adams hadit seemedbenefited from many other one-time patients of like will and intent. Over a period of years the good Doctor had enjoyed cash bequests alonetotalling £45000 together with gifts of cars including two Rolls-Roycejewellerysilver and antiques.John Bodkin Adams had been named as a beneficiary in many will more than 132in fact: sometimes in wills of long-standing date but more often of recent compilation.He acted as an executor in other estates.Thus began the investigation which led to Dr John Bodkin Adamsbeing put up for trial at Court No.1 of the Criminal Courts of the Old Bailey in March of 1957 charged with the murder of Mrs Edith Alice Morrellsix years previously.Adams's defence teamled by Sir Geoffrey Lawrence gained a sensational acquittal. A short while before he died Dr Adams saw Rodney Hallworthand the last few lines of that interview are worth repeating.Said the Doctor: ". . . .I believe you should wait until Almighty God ends your life.All I ever did was to make my patients as comfortable as possible towards the end." Hallworth did not believe him.In the opinion of many experts Adams died an unconvicted mass-murderer.

In 1998 the graveyards in the market town of Hyde has some unusual early-morning visitors.Greater Manchester Police were exhuming the bodies of the elderly patients of a local doctor.If that wasn't shocking enough for the close-knit communitythe doctor concerned had been their GP for 21 years and had earned himself something of a reputation as the best doctor in the area.But Dr Harold Frederick Shipman was also a serial killer.Within a year he would be on trial for the murder of 15 of his elderly female patients;he would be convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.Yet that was just the start of the story. A Public Enquiry has spent nearly four years investigating Dr Shipman's crimes.It has traced them back more than 30 years and calculated the number of murders he committed to be in the region of 260.From his tragic childhood in Nottingham through medical training and a shotgun weddingthis book looks at the early influences on Shipman's life and attempts to identify the signs of things to come: his suspicious behaviour while a house doctor in Pontefract; his first killings as a GP in Todmorden and the escalating murders carried out in Hyde.As the director of ITV1's 'To Kill and Kill Again - Dr Shipman'the author was given complete access to the Public Enquiry's database.She has also interviewed those close to Shipman and his victims; she has studied full transcripts of police video and audio tapeswhich reveal the doctor's arrogance during police interviewsand exclusively obtained prison letters provide a unique insight into his mind.And with the help of criminal psychologists and detectives involved in the casethis book tells the chilling story of Britain's most prolofic serial killerwhile also examining the clues that provide the answer to the question why Why he chose to kill and kill again.
