Murder With Malice Aforethought
()
About this ebook
How does someone decide to take the life of another human being — and to think they’re clever enough to get away with it? Is it conceit, desperation, stupidity or the product of some sort of warped or evil mindset? Real murders and real murderers tend to be more intriguing, complicated, interesting and downright weirder than fiction.
Murder with Malice Aforethought tells twenty-four such true stories. They’re set in England, New Zealand, America, Scotland and Australia, and dated from 1892 to the present day.
Roger Meecham
Roger Meecham was born in Devon, England and grew up with the sea and maritime history all around him. At age 16 he joined the Royal Navy as a boy and later trained as a diver, which led on to a life-long interest and love of the sea, both above and below the surface. After leaving the navy he wrote a few accounts of his diving exploits, which were published and well received. In time, this encouraged him to develop as a short story writer, writing mostly about the sea, shipwrecks, diving, submarine disasters and murder cases. Roger has had a number of books and numerous stories and articles published in a number of countries. Roger is now retired and living with his wife Lim in Wellington, New Zealand. Though he no longer dives in the open sea, he does quite a lot of researching and writing about a variety of subjects, including murder. Roger's other books: Dangerous Waters — Horizon Press, Wellington, New Zealand 1999 Perilous Seas — Bateson Publishing Limited, Wellington, New Zealand 2009 Pigs Might Fly — Self-published, Wellington, New Zealand, 2010
