'Murder Capital' is a historical study of suspicious deaths, unexpected deaths whose circumstances required official investigation, in mid-twentieth-century London. Suspicious deaths - murders in the family and by strangers, infanticides and deaths from illegal abortions - reveal moments of personal and communal crisis in the social fabric of the city. By setting the institutional ordering of the city against the hidden intimate spaces where crimes occurred and were discovered, the book presents a new popular history of the city.
