Just beneath its gentile façade, the city of York hides a dark past. Once England's second city, it is built on a thousand years of bloodshed. From brutal war to noble rebellion, and from petty crime to notorious killers, death has tracked the city's long history. Keith Henson begins with York’s early history of punishment and close with the city's only unsolved murder. From 1800–1946, the city slid from its Georgian splendor to a seething slum surrounded by medieval walls, then began to reemerge after World War Two. Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths in York tells the story of some of the city's darkest moments: from Hanging Bishops to Sweet Toothed Poisoners; Insane Arsonists to Murder Most Foul.

Another trawl through the records of dastardly deeds, this time around Yorkshire, taking in the whole of the boundaries of the ancient West Riding, which stretched as far up as Sedbrough in the north-west, just beyond Todmorden in the west, north to Kirkby Malzeard and east to Selby and Goole. Join the Dyon, Stanton and Thornton families if you dare and find out who killed which other member of their family. When the course of true love fails to run smoothly, the result can often be tragic, as it was in the case of star crossed lovers in Leeds and Wakefield or between man and wife as in cases in Doncaster, Thurlstone and Heckmondwike. Nor were children ignored by the law, being both victims and, quite often, perpetrators of foul deeds. Whatever you find in todays newspapers, youll find a parallel here knife crimes, drink-related crimes, bank robberies and mail robberies, riots and terrorism. Theres nothing new under the sun and these tales prove it.
