Originally published as Rum, a Tailor's Goose, and a Soap Box: Three Murderous Affairs in the History of Hanover, Massachusetts, this book offers readers an updated version of the three crimes that shook peaceful Hanover, Massachusetts more than 100 years ago. The author has delved more deeply into the tragedies and provides additional information about each incident and the principal characters involved, and has included forty illustrations, many not seen in his original version. The shooting deaths of two railroad laborers by a recalcitrant, illicit rum dealer shocked the tranquil town of Hanover, Massachusetts in 1845. Violence again visited the town nearly thirty years later when the manager of a hotel in the town's Four Corners village murdered a woman in his employ. An impulsive young Canadian immigrant entered a Chinese laundry and robbed and killed the owner in the same village three decades after that. Journey back in time as John F. Gallagher chronicles these crimes that afflicted Hanover during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Explore the everyday lives of Hanover's citizens, the social and moral issues of their time, and the impact each murder had on the community, the families of the victims, and the accused. Learn about the circumstances whereby the victims, all recent immigrants, came to America filled with dreams and aspirations they would never realize.

While on vacation in Bermuda, Jessica Fletcher is surprised to hear the local population is abuzz over a trio of murders, each bearing an eerie resemblance to the 1888 Jack the Ripper killings. Jessica dismisses the panicked chatter as just that-until her friend Thomas Betterton's niece is found dead on the beach after a party. And when Scotland Yard Inspector George Sutherland arrives to investigate, Jessica can't help but get involved-an act that brings her dangerously close to a killer...

When Inspector Thomas Pitt is asked to reopen a three-year-old murder case that had taken place in London’s luxurious Hanover Close, he is all too aware that his superiors want him to simply smooth things over. But penetrating the reserve of high society households will take more finesse than Pitt can muster. Enter Charlotte Pitt, his wellborn wife, and her sister, Emily. As the social equals of the inhabitants of the Close, the women are privy to conversations that would never reach the ears of a mere policeman. What they find is a secret so shocking it will lead to more deaths—including, quite possibly, Pitt’s own.

The Dartmouth Murders: The Dartmouth Hall clock strikes a "cold, damp six" as student Ken Harris awakens to the ominous sound of muffled rhythmic raps against a dormitory window. Upon rising and looking out the window, Ken finds to his horror that the eerie noise is coming from the two bare feet of his roommate, Byron Coates, whose rain-slicked, pajama-clad body hangs suspended from a rope fire escape. Initially it is believed that Byron committed suicide, but soon it is established that the moody Dartmouth student was the victim of a foul play. As strange events unfold and yet more unnatural deaths follow, a bewildered Ken finds himself questioning the motives of everyone around him. Even his officious attorney and author father, on hand and helping the floundering police with their investigation, comes under suspicion. When will this nightmare rampage of murders at Dartmouth end? The Wailing Rock Murders: Perched above the rocky coast near Ogunquit Beach, Maine, are two identical mansions, Victorian monstrosities with cupolas like travesties of crowns, "fashioned of rusty iron and set with blind isinglass." In the cupolas of both houses murder strikes, in most savage fashion. On the hunt for the killer is the brilliant, elderly amateur detective Spaton "Spider" Meech, whose ward, lovely Garda Lawrence, is, to his profound horror, the first of the victims. Over the course of one hagridden evening and morning, Meech confronts the most challenging-and horrendous-case in his celebrated crime-fighting career. Local legend says that when the rock wails death will follow-a claim chillingly borne out repeatedly as a remorseless "Spider" strives to ensnare a murderer in his web of detection.

Innocent Blood recounts the heart-rending stories of Cape rebels and republican soldiers executed by the British during the Anglo Boer War. These previously untold tales evoke vivid scenes of the brutality that accompanied complete lack of justice, while sketching the tragic details of the suffering and emotional devastation that were the real-life stories touched by these executions. Captivating as these stories are, they were researched extensively - the authors spent months travelling to the sites that witnessed the stories. They were then also condoned by two professors of history.
