This unnerving collection of tales of crimes and misdemeanours reveals dark secrets from Medway's history and covers a wide range of periods and subjects from the Dark Ages to the middle of the twentieth century. The historic towns of Rochester, with its castle and cathedral, and Chatham, with its naval dockyard, have seen many misdeeds over the years. Included are crimes of passion, offences committed in times of appalling hardship and sins with a sinister motive. This well-researched book will shock the reader with its in-depth true-life accounts. With more than sixty illustrations, this chilling catalogue of murderous misdeeds is bound to captivate anyone interested in the criminal history of the area.
