Capital Crimes: Seven centuries of London life and murder by Max Decharne (view source)

Throughout this book the emphasis is partly on judicial and social history, and to an extent on the city of London itself, as well as on the killers and the victims. Each case is examined in detail, and there are black and white half-tone illustrations at the start of each chapter as well as a colour plate section in the middle. It should appeal not only to devotees of true crime but to those interested in London and social history as well.
If this book appeals then you might also like to try [[ Murders of London: In the steps of the capital's killers by David Long]]and [[The Faithful Executioner: Life and Death in the Sixteenth Century by Joel F Harrington]].
