Tales From Bow Street by Joan Lock
Joan Lock delves into the criminal underworld of 18th century London, a city riddled with pick-pockets, prostitutes, highwaymen and murderers.
From the hanging murders of the 1700s, through to Cold War espionage, and the birth of the 1950s policewoman, Lock's book is rich in periodic detail and readable history
After qualifying as a nurse, Joan Lock spent six years in the Metropolitan Police. She is also the author of `Scotland Yard Casebook'.
