Collection of Davidson's magazine articles, where he employs his storytelling chops to a series of historical episdoes, ranging from the career of Al Capone to the career of Jack The Ripper, taking in assorted disasters, catastrophes and wartime adventures along the way. Wonderful writing, often lurid and sensational subject matter, but also at times movingly tragic and selflessy heroic. Marc LeVesseur, you're my man, but if a Welsh person ever hears how you give Dr Llewellyn a Scottish accent, you're in for it, boyo.
