Summary

Murder in the Tower consists of fifteen chapters, each giving an account of a different 17th-century criminal trial. Each case is based on information taken from a collected volume of state trials originally published in the early 18th century. The cases are chosen for their national political importance, or for the light they can shed on wider social issues.

Author Biography

Alan Wharam lectured at the Leeds College of Commerce and the Leeds Polytechnic Law School until he retired in 1988.
