Description: The author was one of Britain's top crime reporters, who himself covered many of the cases he describes, and knew many of the detectives whose work he discusses. He records the growth of the Murder Squad from its humble beginnings over seventy years previously, when it consisted of a superintendent and four officers. The cases which the author discusses range from Dr. Crippen in 1910 to the enormous hunt that was necessary to trace the crimes of the Black Panther, with Armstrong, Leon Beron, Minnie Bonati, George Cornell, Gordon Cummins, Foxtrot Eleven, Peter Griffiths, Haigh, Heath, the Krays, Patrick Mahon, Ethel Major, Podmore, G.J.Smith and many, many, others in between.
