SINISTER SPON END

This pocket-sized walking guidebook by local crime historian Adam Wood gives step by step directions to visit locations associated with grim true stories from Spon End’s past, including:

Highlights include:

• The man who interrupted knife-wielding burglars in the middle of the night, defending his life armed only with a mop.

• The Coventry City FC player who was so annoyed at being refused beer by a local landlord that he attempted to strangle him.

• The busy workplace where a young woman finished her shift and went home to her murder.

• The pub where two friends fell out after a few pints, the evening ending with one cracking open the skull of the other with a poker.

• Turf wars between travelling Italian organ grinders.

And that’s not to mention the dramatic arrest of a wanted man whose wife and children had been found dead, stuffed into a tin trunk in London.
