This publication relates the true tales of famous crimes connected with wills. The author brings to fascinating life the facts of the cases, and background facts about the personalities involved – not only the accused, but also witnesses as well as the defence counsel, the judges, and the prosecutors – many of whom are famous figures in the annals of the law. Included are the trial of Daisy de Melker (South Africa's most notorious poisoner), who was charged with killing various of her husbands, as well as her son, in order to benefit from their wills; George Joseph Smith and the famous "bodies in the bath" murder trial; Dr Harold Frederick Shipman, who may have murdered up to 230 of his patients over a twenty-five-year period; and the billionaire Howard Hughes (was he murdered, and did he in fact leave a will?).

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
