Blood and Granite by Norman Adams

Blood and Granite by Norman Adams

Blood and Granite is a chronicle of the most notorious homicides committed in Aberdeen over the last hundred years. Written by Norman Adams, a journalist who reported on many of the chilling crimes he now recalls so vividly, it is compelling reading for those who are too young to remember - and those who cannot forget. All are human tragedies from the dark side of life, including: • The grudge that ended in death in an East End pub when butcher James Harrow brutally stabbed two workmates in 1901. • The grisly discovery of a woman's arm on the Torry shore in 1945 that signalled the start of a mystery which to this day remains unsolved. • The tragic love affair that led to the gallows in 1963 - the first hanging in Aberdeen for 106 years. • The double life of brilliant scientist Dr Brenda Page of Aberdeen University, battered to death in her flat in 1978. Her murder remains unsolved. • The bar

Norman Adams, a former journalist, has written many novels and non-fiction volumes on both crime and the supernatural, occasionally being called in to investigate alleged hauntings as a member of the Scottish Society for Psychical Research. His Blood and Granite: True Crime from Aberdeen was a best-seller in 2003. He is also the author of the popular Wee Book of Aberdeen.
