Gordon Honeycombe

    Gordon Honeycombe was more than just a television voice; he was a playwright and stage actor. His literary work draws from his varied life experiences, from his education in England and Scotland to his early work in radio and television. Honeycombe's writing is characterized by an ability to capture the human condition with a warm yet stern eye, much like his on-screen presence.

      New Scotland Yard, the headquarters of London's Metropolitan Police, houses the notorious Black Museum, a unique collection of exhibits, photographs, and other items connected with some of the most famous crimes of the last century. Fifty of those crimes were murders and they are explored in detail in this compelling book. Gordon Honeycombe was given privileged access to its darkest secrets of the place that was renamed The Crime Museum. His book spans a hundred years of murder, manslaughter, and attempted assassinations and reveals the true facts behind some of the U.K.'s most notorious murder cases, including Jack the Ripper, Dr. Crippen, and the Krays.
