Open Verdict by Ken Bridgewater Pdf

When John MacLennan invaded the life of Aileen, a radio talk show host, in 1980 he was already dead. He was on a dissecting table with a pathologist cutting out his heart. Police Inspector MacLennan was found dead in his locked Hong Kong flat. At first glance, his death appeared to be suicide; there was a note. But there were also five bullet wounds in his chest-seemingly too many to be self-inflicted. Rumours swirl about his suspicious death. Maybe MacLennan had upset the gangsters by hounding them. Perhaps he had angered the police by digging too deeply into their culture. He may have offended the Hong Kong government by straying from the party line. The Inspector's death was discussed daily on Aileen's show, debating the question of whether it was suicide or murder. Aileen was threatened with a criminal libel suit for broadcasting and causing open discussion on such a sensitive issue. Based on actual events, Open Verdict offers a fictionalized account of MacLennan's case written by Ken Bridgewater, who lived in Hong Kong at the time. In this real-life mystery, Bridgewater seeks to reveal the facts of this mysterious case.

‘This Rash Act’ by Victor Bailey Pdf

What made some 700 men and women in the Yorkshire town of Kingston-upon-Hull in the years 1837 to 1900 take their lives? This book attempts to answer this question and also to study how suicide was understood by victims, families, and friends; how the causes of suicide changed over time; and what coroners' inquests can tell us about Victorian life, beliefs, and values in general.

Pretty Jane and the Viper of Kidbrooke Lane by Paul Thomas Murphy Pdf

On April 26th, 1871, a police constable walking one of London’s remotest beats stumbled upon a brutalized young woman kneeling in the muddy road. She stretched out her hand to him, collapsed in the mud, muttered, “Let me die,” and slipped into a coma. Five days later, she died, her identity still unknown.Within hours of her discovery, scores of Metropolitan Police officers were involved in the investigation, while Scotland Yard sent one of its top detectives to lead it. On the day of her death, the police discovered the girl's identity: Jane Maria Clouson, a sixteen-year-old servant to the Pooks, a respectable Greenwich family. Hours later, they arrested her master's son, twenty-year-old Edmund, for her murder.An epic tale of law and disorder, Pretty Jane and the Viper of Kidbrooke Lane is the story of the majesty—and the travesty—of the nineteenth-century British legal system. Using an abundant collection of primary sources, Paul Thomas Murphy creates a gripping narrative of the police procedural and the ensuing legal drama, and, applying contemporary forensic methods to this Victorian cold case, reveals definitively the identity of Jane Clouson's murderer.

An Inconvenient Death by Miles Goslett Pdf

A DAILY TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR. 'A compelling, authoritative insight into possibly the most controversial death in Britain this century' The Observer. 'Goslett's like Poirot; he asks questions... Spooky and scary' Evening Standard. 'Masterful... This book made me proud of my trade as a journalist' Daily Mail. 'This searing excavation of the mysterious death of Dr David Kelly is investigative journalism at its best. It is brave, relentless, dazzlingly revealing' Peter Oborne. In March 2003 British forces invaded Iraq after Tony Blair said the country could deploy weapons of mass destruction at 45 minutes' notice. A few months later, government scientist Dr David Kelly was unmasked by Blair's officials as the assumed source of a BBC news report challenging this claim. Within days, Dr Kelly was found dead in a wood near his home. Blair immediately convened the controversial Hutton Inquiry, which concluded Dr Kelly committed suicide. Yet key questions remain: could Dr Kelly really have taken his life in the manner declared? And why did Blair's government derail the coroner's inquest into Dr Kelly's death? In this meticulous account, award-winning journalist Miles Goslett shows why we should be sceptical of the official story of what happened in that desperate summer of 2003.
