Retold for a new generation are shocking stories of infanticide, drunken brawls in town, the jealous, alcohol-fuelled raging of one betrayed husband, as well as the only instance in the town's recorded history when a cooking implement has been used as a lethal weapon. Mixing genuine historical documents with contemporary photography to show the scenes where these disturbing dramas were played out, Wynn's collection of true crimes provides a mesmerising evocation of the past. It's sure to haunt the imagination of any reader with an interest in the history of the town and the surrounding area.
