Homicide 1924

Homicide 1924 (2025) by Pat Finn – Sold by Crappy Old Books

Step into the shadowy alleyways and smoke-filled courtrooms of interwar Britain in Homicide 1924, Pat Finn’s gripping deep-dive into one extraordinary year in British murder. With a sharp eye for detail and a flair for the macabre, Finn reconstructs some of the most notorious—and some forgotten—homicide cases of 1924, peeling back the polite veneer of postwar respectability to reveal a country simmering with secrets, desperation, and violence.

From Soho speakeasies to remote country lanes, this meticulously researched chronicle blends true crime, social history, and dark psychology, unearthing tales of jealousy, scandal, passion, and cold-blooded brutality. Each case is a snapshot of a nation in flux—still reeling from the Great War, still clinging to Victorian morals, and just beginning to realise that modern crime would need modern justice.

Condition: A bit dog-eared, possibly read during a thunderstorm, and smells faintly of pipe smoke—but perfectly serviceable for curling up with a cuppa and contemplating murder.

Crappy Old Books: For people who know the past is always up to no good.
