Description
This is a true-life thriller about a large number of deliberate or untimely deaths in a quiet corner of Hampshire. Chris Heal investigates twenty local murders, spanning from Roman times to the present day, including three that took place in the last few years.
The cases include a range of crimes, from drug runners and people traffickers to killers of animals and babies, as well as those who planned revenge and sought justice. Heal's research uncovers a surprising secret that links local development to a great political movement and one of the UK's largest corporations.
Heal's investigation reveals the surprising truth behind Four Marks' reputation as the murder capital of Southern England, and how the village's history has been shaped by its location and development over time.
