The criminal cases vividly described by Bernard Lewis in this gripping
book take the reader on a journey into the dark secret side of
Swanseas long history. The city has been the setting for a series of
horrific, bloody, sometimes bizarre incidents over the centuries. From
crimes of brutal premeditation to those born of rage or despair, the
whole range of human weakness and wickedness is represented here.
There are tales of secret passion and betrayal, robbery, murder and
suicide, deadly fever and mutiny, executions, and instances of
extraordinary domestic cruelty and malice that ended in death. The
human dramas the author describes are often played out in the most
commonplace of circumstances, but others are so odd as to be stranger
than fiction. This grisly chronicle of the hidden history of Swansea
will be compelling reading for anyone who is interested in the dark
side of human nature.
