The Case of Mr. George Edalji

True Crime Stories

At its peak, the British Empire governed a quarter of the world's land area and population. How it shaped trajectories of economic development in the former colonies remains the subject of fierce debate. Leigh Gardner and Tirthankar Roy offer a rich and textured economic history of the British Empire focused on the colonies themselves. While the economic history of the Empire has been much debated, previous work has focused either on economic dynamics in Britain, or on specific colonies or regions. In this fresh global analysis, Gardner and Roy argue that the British Empire was characterised by more diversity than unity. How did this diversity emerge? How did it shape global inequalities and patterns of economic change in postcolonial times? And, finally, do we need to rethink our definitions of empire in light of this diversity? In addressing these questions, this book provides an incisive guide to the Empire: its origins, how it was governed, how it ended, and the complicated legacies it left. The British Empire demystifies one of the most contested subjects of our time.

The British Empire: An Economic History

The scales of justice are not always balanced. In Shadows of Justice, you will step behind the curtain of the American legal system to uncover the devastating reality of wrongful convictions. Through gripping, meticulously researched case studies-including the heart-wrenching stories of Marcus Deveraux and Marcus Dillon-this book exposes the dark underbelly of modern law enforcement. From the fallibility of forensic science to the insidious nature of tunnel vision and the tragedy of coerced false confessions, Shadows of Justice reveals how lives can be shattered in mere hours. This is more than a collection of stories; it is a call to action for anyone who believes in the pursuit of truth. Will you dare to confront the shadows lurking within our justice system?

Shadows of Justice

A fiendish seasonal mystery in which Holmes and Watson must discover the connections between a series of Christmas-themed murders in London. For fans of Gareth Rubin's Holmes and Moriarty. In the week before Christmas, Dr Watson convinces Sherlock Holmes to accompany him gift shopping for Mrs Hudson. Unwilling to trail around lots of smaller establishments with the heaving seasonal crowds, Holmes insists they leave early and go to a single shop: Whiteley's, the capital's first 'department' store, in which everything and anything can be found! What Holmes and Watson do not expect to find, however, is a body suspended in the branches of the store's Christmas tree. To everyone else, it looks as though the dead man has fallen from a gantry and broken his neck. Only Holmes hears a slow, steady drip and notices the blood pooling beneath the tree. A murder has taken place. With a less-than-amenable police inspector hampering him at every turn, the world's greatest detective has his work cut out for him to follow the trail of grisly clues and stop the murderer before more bodies pile up!

Sherlock Holmes and the Christmas Murders

suspicion, advocates supporting the wrongfully accused, and professionals seeking to improve practice and policy. It highlights warning signs of flawed investigations, points to emerging scientific developments, and outlines constructive reforms that can save families-and systems-from repeating the same mistakes. CAN YOU PROVIDE A 250 WORD SHORT DESCRIPTIONShow moreInfant deaths are every parent's worst nightmare-and when grief is compounded by wrongful accusation, the result is a lifelong catastrophe. Infant Death Exonerations: The Folbigg Case - A Practical Guide for Families, Advocates and Professionals examines how misunderstandings of medical evidence, rare genetic conditions, and entrenched biases can turn tragedy into a criminal conviction. Centered on the Kathleen Folbigg case and linked to other infant death exonerations worldwide, it shows how shaken baby syndrome allegations, SIDS diagnoses, and ambiguous autopsy findings can be misread in court, and how emerging genetics and forensic science are changing the landscape.Written in clear, accessible language, the book explains how infant deaths are investigated, where evidence commonly goes wrong, and how tunnel vision, flawed expert testimony, and systemic failures can produce miscarriages of justice. It highlights warning signs of defective investigations, points to new medical and scientific developments, and outlines practical steps families, defence teams, innocence projects, and journalists can take when a baby's death is treated as a crime. Both a case study of the Folbigg exoneration and a broader roadmap for reform, this guide is essential reading for lawyers, doctors, forensic pathologists, child protection professionals, and anyone concerned about how the criminal justice system handles sudden infant deaths.

INFANT DEATH EXONERATIONS

The Trials of Gabriel Ward

As brilliant a cosy crime novel as you'll ever read' JANICE HALLETT 'A masterful voice in the mystery world' S. J. BENNETT 1901. Gabriel Ward KC is hard at work on a thorny libel case involving London's most famous music hall star and its most notorious tabloid newspaper, but the Inner Temple remains as quiet and calm as ever. Quiet, that is, until the mummified hand arrives in the post... While the hand's recipient, Temple Treasurer Sir William Waring, is rightfully shaken, Gabriel is filled with curiosity. Who would want to send such a thing? And why? But as more parcels arrive - one with fatal consequences - Gabriel realises that it is not Sir William who is the target, but the Temple itself. Someone is holding a grudge that has led to at least one death. It is up to Gabriel, and Constable Wright of the City of London Police, to find out who before the body count gets any higher. The game's afoot...

A Case of Life and Limb

Families and the Law in the Works of Agatha Christie

What happens when the machinery of justice is captured by the incentives of the people who run it? Dr. John M. Cobin answers from the inside. Wrongly convicted after an act of self-defense, this American-born economist spent five years and five months in a Chilean prison despite physical and forensic evidence of his innocence. Surviving Chilean Justice is both a first-person memoir of that ordeal and a public-choice analysis of why it happened: how prosecutors, judges, prison officials, and politicians respond to incentives rather than truth, and why political persecution flourishes in systems with weak accountability. Across twenty chapters, Cobin recounts life inside Chilean cellblocks, the workings of the criminal-justice bureaucracy, and the faith that sustained him - while applying the analytical tools of public choice economics that he taught for nearly three decades. Book 05 of the Alertness Books economics line, with references and suggested further reading.

** NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ** WINNER OF THE KIRKUS PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2026 **The gripping true story of a serial con man whose lies condemned a man to death row.'Incendiary, emotionally devastating. [This] is a feat of dogged reporting, bravura storytelling, and clear-eyed moral conscience.' -Patrick Radden Keefe, author of Say Nothing and London Falling'Not your typical true crime book... engrossing [and] important.' -New York TimesFor more than three decades, Paul Skalnik roamed the southern states of America lying about who he was. He passed himself off as a fighter pilot, a high-rolling oilman, a criminal defense attorney, an undercover agent, and a terminal cancer patient. In these guises he married nine women - some at the same time - and scammed them out of their money.When Skalnik got caught, as he invariably did, he would run a different con. Locked up with other men awaiting trial, he claimed they confessed their crimes to him. Then he peddled those stories to prosecutors. In Florida, he became a frequent witness for the state, thinking nothing of exaggerating men's wrongdoing or implicating the innocent to help prosecutors win convictions. In return, the state rewarded him with his freedom, fueling his growing sense of invincibility. Soon he was not just committing fraud; he was preying on girls in their teens or barely into adolescence. In 1985, Jim Dailey, a down-on-his-luck Vietnam veteran, was implicated in the murder of a 14-year-old girl and landed in jail with Skalnik. Despite a total lack of forensic evidence, Skalnik's account of Dailey's "confession" was enough to put Dailey on death row where he still waits, four decades later. In this mesmerizing debut, Pamela Colloff spins a dark tale of a remorseless and brilliant liar made lethal by a system more concerned with winning convictions than finding the truth.'Unfolding in cinematic detail, Catch the Devil offers a riveting and disturbing account of the potentially fatal consequences of a criminal legal system that is more concerned with securing convictions than delivering justice.' -NPR
