We tend to think of Great Britain as being rather genteel, yet some of the world's most lurid crimes have taken place there, and the names of many of the perpetrators are now synonymous with murder and mayhem. From the sensational trials of Dr. Crippen and George Joseph Smith, through the killings committed in World War II London by the likes of John Christie, John Haigh, Gordon Cummins, and Neville Heath, this chronological, photographic journey takes us to Jack the Ripper's Whitechapel haunts, the scene of the Great Train Robbery; and Hatton Garden, where an ambitious jewel heist was perpetrated by elderly burglars.
