Twenty-one cases, not all solved, ranging from 1832-1958.
The book includes the IRA bombing of Coventry in 1939; the fascinating case at Lower Quinton that Fabian of the Yard failed to solve the murder of Charles Walton in 1945; the unsolved murder of Penelope Mogano, Coventry, 1954, a case that really ought to have been solved and reads like a 1950’s melodrama, and nasty killing of Isaiah Dixon at Rugby in 1958.
A comprehensive look at the county’s dark side.
