First Edition. "The first book to be written on the relationship of crime to the supernatural". The author has made a special study of crimes that had been characterised by "things not of this world." Edwin T. Woodhall worked in Scotland Yard and before that worked in Counter-Espionage Intelligence for H.M. Forces.
Many cases are surrounded by inexplicable circumstances, and he reveals what could be interpreted as psychic and occult influences. Includes a chapter on Robert James Lees and "Jack the Ripper", as well as the first Scotland Yard instance of the aid of clairvoyance to detect a series of awful crimes. Includes photographs of crime scenes and other related scenes.
8vo (Demy). Black cloth hardcover with gilt lettering to spine. Wear to edges of cover, corners bumped. Small tears in cloth at spine. Signatures of previous owners on pastedown and flyleaf. Very light foxing and small marks to some pages. Binding tight.
