Much anticipated sequel to 2010's "Southampton Murder Victims". Each case is arranged in chronological order, allowing the reader to dip into the period of their choice. It contains over 200 pictures, some of them official police photographs

"Southampton Murder Victims Vol II" is the result of painstaking research by the author, who had unrivalled access to police and other archive files normally unavailable to the general public.
