Famous Edinburgh Crimes ** Special Offer ** (LS-036)

A look at famous Edinburgh crimes begins with 200 witches sailing out to sea. Their mission? Kill King James VI. The Book also recalls some of Edinburgh's less competent criminals, like the schoolmaster who insured his spouse for Â?1,000, poisoned her, and then tried to blame the death on a gas leak, or the wife killer who was trapped by a dead dog. No book about Edinburgh crimes would be complete without Burke and Hare, possibly the world's most famous "bodysnatchers", though, in fact, they never robbed a single grave! The truth is much worse, with these two Irishmen responsible for at least 16 cold-blooded murders.
