**A collection of historical British true crime stories, with illustrations included.**
From the murder of Hannah Hewitt in 1732 to John Cotton's killing in 1898, *Deadly Derbyshire* gathers dramatic, atmospheric true tales of murder and manslaughter in this county in England's East Midlands.
Read about the "fiery" circumstances of the death of John McMorrow; a farm tragedy at Stoney Houghton; and killings for pittances such as three eggs and a sixpence. You'll also discover stories of unprovoked and wicked deeds and numerous suspicious deaths. Based on extensive research of newspaper archives, uncovering a large number of cases never previously explored, this compendium examines the darker side of this historical port city.
