Books
London's crimes have changed over the centuries, both in method and execution. 'Underworld London' traces these developments, from the highway robberies of the 18th century, made possible by the constant traffic of wealthy merchants in and out of the city, to the beatings, slashings and poisonings of the Victorian era.
