Gordon Honeycombe Knihy
Gordon Honeycombe was více než jen televizní hlas; byl dramatikem a hercem. Jeho literární dílo čerpá z jeho rozmanitých životních zkušeností, od jeho vzdělání v Anglii a Skotsku až po jeho rané působení v rádiu a televizi. Psaní Honeycombea se vyznačuje schopností zachytit lidskou povahu s teplým, ale přísným okem, podobně jako jeho televizní vystupování.
New Scotland Yard, the headquarters of London's Metropolitan Police, houses the notorious Black Museum, a unique collection of exhibits, photographs, and other items connected with some of the most famous crimes of the last century. Fifty of those crimes were murders and they are explored in detail in this compelling book. Gordon Honeycombe was given privileged access to its darkest secrets of the place that was renamed The Crime Museum. His book spans a hundred years of murder, manslaughter, and attempted assassinations and reveals the true facts behind some of the U.K.'s most notorious murder cases, including Jack the Ripper, Dr. Crippen, and the Krays.
Closely researched and objective, this book is a fascinating guide to murder and a grim insight into the minds of those who practise it. Honeycombe takes an unflinching look at why people murder and asks important questions about this most appalling of crimes, about capital punishment and the law itself.
