Description
The case of Valerie Bacot, though little-reported in the English-speaking world, has been big news in France in recent months. Can it be right that she should walk free after drugging and shooting her husband, point-blank? Don’t judge her till you’ve read this month’s European Crime Report…
Our classic Edwardian murder case this issue focuses on the three men on trial for beating Esther Atkins to death in Aldershot. Were the right men hanged for the crime? Read “Two Went To The Gallows – But Were They The Right Two?” and decide for yourself.
A reader wrote to ask about the Liverpool sack murder of 1913. We already knew it well, but when researching our updated report for this issue, came up with some remarkable “new” pictures. It’s all in Master Detective October.
