Editorial Reviews
Synopsis
Geoffrey Abbott examines the life and practice of William Calcraft, the hangman with "the longest career and shortest rope". As with other books by the author, he combines a wealth of research with his own black sense of humour, giving us an eminently readable biography of this 19th-century hangman.

Christmas stocking filler
This was purchased as a christmas present, not my cup of tea but she said it was a enjoyable read and was happy with it.
