Blood and Granite by Norman Adams
A dark chapter in Aberdeen's past is about to be reopened. - The grudge that ended in death in an east end pub when butcher James Harrow brutally stabbed two work-mates 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 barbaric killing of a nun at St Mary's Cathedral in 1988 that revolted a city. Blood and Granite is a gruesome chronicle of the most notorious homicides committed in Aberdeen over the last hundred years. Compelling reading for those who are too young to remember - and the old who cannot forget.
