Description
Scotland Yard's Murder Squad by Dick Kirby offers a gripping look at the history of the Metropolitan Police's elite murder investigation team. In 1906, the Home Office requested that the Commissioner make skilled investigators available for nationwide murder enquiries, leading to the formation of the Reserve Squad, also known as the Murder Squad. This book delves into some of the most infamous cases handled by the Murder Squad, including a gruesome collection of murders involving child killers, high-profile suspects, and notorious serial offenders. The author draws on his own experiences and contacts to provide a unique insight into the skills and ingenuity of this elite team. With its focus on the darker side of human nature, Scotland Yard's Murder Squad is a spine-chilling read that highlights the importance of old-fashioned detective work in solving even the most heinous crimes.
