Thirty-Six Murders and Two Immoral Earnings

By Ludovic Kennedy. The author of Lindbergh-case cracked-pot doorstop The Airman and the Carpenter is back with a compendium of "miscarriages of justice," including said Lindbergh kidnapping, Stephen Ward, Craig and Bentley, and a dozen others (the "Immoral Earnings" refer to the Christine Keeler affair). A sturdy paperback with some cornerwear and mild page toning (a handful of pages, as shown, show evidence of having lunched with a previous owner); the spine is cracked, but it sits pretty straight and the pages are tight.
