Description
Ruth Ellis was the last woman to be hanged in Britain. Her story is one of tragedy and shock, as revealed in this book by Robert Hancock. In July 1955, Ellis was sentenced to death for the shooting of her lover, David Blakely. Barely three months later, she was executed at Holloway prison. Hancock sets the record straight, using official documents to unlock the full, secret background to her story. This book provides a meticulous and fair analysis of Ellis's life, a vivid snapshot of an era, and a gripping account of a notorious case that shocked the nation.
