The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about the most ludicrous criminal cases in legal history, now in a hardcover gift format
�
Full of riotous and entertaining stories, this book is perfect for anyone who is doing time on a long stretch. It covers the only dead parrot ever to give evidence in a court of law; one of
the most indigestible dilemmas (If you'd been shipwrecked 2,000 miles from home, would you have eaten Parker the cabin boy?); the doctor with the worst bedside manner of all time; and the
murderess who collected money from her mummified victim for 21 years. Readers will�be gripped by these tales of murder, intrigue, crime, punishment and the pursuit of justice, tales that are
in turn bizarre, macabre, and sometimes hilarious.
