George Orwell wrote a famous essay, 'Decline of the English Murder', which appeared in the Socialist weekly 'Tribune' on 15 February 1946. He lamented the passing of the 'classic' murderers such as Seddon, Crippen and Smith and considered modern murder as banal, meaningless. He was wrong. No murder is meaningless. Every crime reveals something about the culprit and the victim, as this book proves.
