Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Good. First edition. Hardback. Foreword by Professor Keith Simpson. Of all the murderers whose exploits have sent shivers down countless spines, Haigh was one of the strangest. No expert, criminal or medical, has satisfactorily explained until this book, how this man grew from a sweet-voiced, well-mannered choirboy into what the contemporary press all too readily described as 'a monster'. The strangeness of his story is compounded by the man's personality. He was the apotheosis of charm, genial, elegantly turned out, with a mildnes of manner. No wonder spectators at his trial asked themselves, how could this be the same man who systematically slaughtered people and dissolved them in a bath of acid? The author has drawn upon every aspect of Haigh's life, including the letters that he wrote to his parents from prison and death cell. With Psychiatric Analysis by Noel C. Brown. Illus., Index. 187pp. 8vo. h/back. Lacks tp, new pds and eps, several pp. with stain mks. Possibly ex-lib. with dw 'fused' to boards, but no markings to indicate. G++. Seller Inventory # 16195
