Saga
This true crime history reveals murder and mayhem in a small Yorkshire town as England entered and recovered from two world wars.
During the first half of the twentieth century, Rotherham was a town like any other in South Yorkshire. It was transformed by industrial expansion, modernization, and two world wars. But hidden in the shadows of this familiar narrative are true tales of bloody murder. Some are notorious, some are only whispered about, but all are truly chilling.
In Rotherham Murders, author Margaret Drinkall resurrects these nearly forgotten histories. Here readers will learn about the brutal death of a policeman; the sensational “body in a trunk” murder which brought Scotland Yard detectives to the tiny town. Other sad and foul deeds include mothers killing their own children, an early motor vehicle crime, and a gamekeeper's grim revenge. Not for the feint-hearted, these cases will both shock and astonish in equal measure.
