All three books in the Rugeley Poisoner series, in ebook form, for one low price.
Volume 1: The original 1856 Illustrated Biography Including Rumor and Scandal
Appearing soon after Palmer’s execution in 1856, “The Illustrated Life and Career of William Palmer” was published to cash in on the notorious case. The anonymous author combined facts and rumors about Palmer’s crimes with sketches on debauched medical students and crooked scams in horse racing, and pious meditations on Palmer’s wife. With the help of footnotes and essays, the result is a compelling, fascinating look at life in the early Victorian era, and the criminal doctor who was placed “at the head of his profession” by none other than Sherlock Holmes!
Volume 2: The Trial Transcript, Edited and Expanded
Originally published in 1856, the Peschel Press edition of “The Times Report of the Trial of William Palmer” reprints the court transcript, edited and corrected for the first time, along with more than 50 woodcuts restored to make them look better than the day they were printed. This edition also includes more than 250 footnotes explaining historical, legal, and medical references; period maps of England and the Staffordshire region; a glossary of medical and scientific terms; and profiles of the leading legal figures in the case. The result is a fresh look at the mass-murdering country doctor and the trial that shocked Britain.
