FOUL DEEDS AND SUSPICIOUS DEATHS Series Wharncliffe’s Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths series explores, in detail, crimes of passion, brutal murders and foul misdemeanours from early modern times to the present day. Victorian street crime, mysterious deaths and modern murder tell tales where passion, jealousy and social depravation brought unexpected violence to those involved. From unexplained death and suicide to murder and manslaughter, the books provide a fascinating insight into the lives of both victims and perpetrators as well as society as a whole.
