Discover the darker side of this scenic destination with over twenty true-crime tales, accompanied by photos and illustrations.
Its natural beauty attracts countless visitors-but notorious cases of murder, deceit, and pure malice have marked the long history of this apparently peaceful island. From crimes of passion to opportunistic killings and coldly premeditated acts of murder, the full spectrum of criminality is recounted here. For this journey into a bloody, neglected aspect of the past, Isle of Wight historian and crime writer M.J. Trow has selected over twenty notorious episodes that give a fascinating insight into criminal acts and the criminal mind.
He throws light into the shadowy world of the smugglers, pirates, and robbers who plagued the island's early history. He recalls the escape attempts of Charles I from Carisbrooke Castle, the mysterious loss of the
Mary Rose and HMS
Royal George, and the scandalous conduct of Lady Worsley. In vivid, sometimes shocking detail, he reconstructs notable criminal cases, including the brutal murders that have marked the island's more recent past. In addition, he delves into the history of the island's three prisons-Albany, Parkhurst, and Camp Hill-which have housed many of Britain's most violent criminals.
