Description
Featuring seven significant cases from the files of Scotland Yard.
Hear of the harrowing chase through the streets of London, as the brave policemen and fearless public chase down two criminals willing to stop at nothing to evade capture, in 'Anarchy in the UK'.
As Scotland Yard expanded their methods for solving crimes, read of their first use of the Identikit in 'The Old Curio Shop' and the earliest use of ballistics evidence, as police track down a cop-killer in 'Dalston Goes Ballistic'.
Read the story of Inspector George Feltham and Sergeant Samuel Pegler's pursuit of 'the sincere and honourable' James Greenacre, in 'Whatever Happened to Hannah Brown?' a case that predated the formation of the Yard's Detective Branch.
Discover the trials of Inspector Whicher and his attempt to break through the class barriers that protected the murderer of an innocent child, in 'Road Kill'.
Even before Brighton became world famous, thanks to Graham Greene's 'Brighton Rock', it had hit the headlines with two sensational murders. Read of Chief Inspector Ronald Donaldson's attempt to enlist the public to catch the murderer of 'The Girl With Pretty Feet' and of the seemingly slam-dunk case that spawned from that investigation, leading to the trial of 'The Dancing Waiter'.
Catching the crooks is only part of the process. Read of the court cases, as the barristers battle it out to convince the juries to weigh the evidence set out on the Scales of Justice, as the Sword of Justice stands ready to swing.
