The Poisoner The Life And Crimes Of Victorian Englands Most Notorious Doctor Stephen Bates by Stephen Bates 9781468309119, 1468309110 instant download after payment.

In 1856, a baying
crowd of over 30,000 people gathered outside Stafford prison to watch
the hanging of Dr. William Palmer, "the greatest villain that ever stood
in the Old Bailey” as Charles Dickens once called him.
Palmer
was convicted of poisoning and suspected in the murders of dozens of
others, including his best friend, his wife, and his mother-in-law—and
cashing in on their insurance to fuel his worsening gambling addiction.
Highlighting his gruesome penchant for strychnine, the trial made news
across both the Old World and the New.
Palmer gripped readers
not only in Britain—Queen Victoria wrote of ''that horrible Palmer” in
her journal—but also was a different sort of murderer than the public
had come to fear—respectable, middle class, personable—and consequently
more terrifying. But as the gallows door dropped, one question still
gnawed at many who knew the case: Was Palmer truly guilty?
The first major retelling of William Palmer’s story in over sixty years, The Poisoner takes
a fresh look at the infamous doctor’s life and disputed crimes. Using
previously undiscovered letters from Palmer and new forensic examination
of his victims, journalist Stephen Bates presents not only an
astonishing and controversial revision of Palmer’s life but takes the
reader into the very psyche of a killer.
