The crime of murder has had a compelling attraction for writers, and readers, since stories were first written. Most of the best detectives deal with murder, for it is the most final and horrible of crimes.

The fifteen cases dealt with in this book represent some of the most interesting in the history of capital crime in New Zealand between 1847 and 1941. All of them have something of a distinctive New Zealand flavour.
