Description

Explore a gripping true story of a poison-pen mystery in 1920s England with The Littlehampton Libels. Published by Oxford University Press, this historical account follows a series of events that led to a major miscarriage of justice in the years following the First World War. As the case unfolded, it required four separate criminal trials before the actual culprit was finally caught. This investigation challenged the Metropolitan Police and prosecuting lawyers as much as any capital crime. Readers will follow a leading detective as he investigates the seaside town of Littlehampton, looking for clues in the most unexpected places. Instead of traditional evidence, the investigation focused on the nuances of language and daily habits. The detective questioned residents about their neighbors' vocabularies, their handwriting styles, how frequently they wrote letters, and even their use of profanity. This book offers a unique look at how a mystery about words can shake a community and the legal system.
