A briefcase and syringe belonging to the Kray twins. The noose used to hang Ruth Ellis. Masks used by the first serial killers convicted by the use of fingerprint analysis. The pot serial killer Dennis Nilsen used to boil the flesh of his victims. All these objects and more have long been hidden away in the Crime Museum in the back room of Scotland Yard, a collection which, although world famous, is so macabre it has never before been opened to the public. For the first time, these fascinating objects and the true crime stories behind them are published in a fully illustrated book.
