Taking the reader on a sinister journey through centuries of local crime and conspiracy, this book features cut-throats and poisoners, murderous lovers, baby-farmers and baby-killers, burglars, fraudsters and the so-called 'doctor of death'.
Exploring the impact of childhood experiences, the author shares his deeply personal journey of overcoming trauma and shaping his identity. Written after years of encouragement and reflection, this memoir reveals the struggles he faced growing up and the complexities of family relationships. Now at 67, he feels compelled to share his story, hoping to inspire others who have faced similar challenges. This debut book covers his life from age five until his marriage in 1968, with a promise of a sequel to follow.
