The reception of the ‘lockdown’ books have gone so well that we are pleased to publish the third one in the sequence. We have also been asked to look into the possibility of publishing some Sheffield books on 19th century criminals. However this wont be the last ‘lockdown’ book as there are still more are in the pipeline.
In this book, you will meet the same sort of characters that you might meet on the streets of Rotherham today, except that these, went just a little bit too far. There was an employer who incited a young girl she employed to commit a robbery, four youthful burglars who taught young boys how to rob houses in Rotherham and Masbrough, a dedicated housewife who, unknowingly poisoned her family with arsenic from a barrel she had bought on the cheap.
There was a clergyman who swindled his flock, accompanied by a mysterious figure who was called ‘Johnny dear’ and wore women’s stockings. The book also includes sad cases of child neglect in Rotherham, a vengeful shooting at Bradgate as well as a tragic murder and suicide at Conisbrough. Help us show our appreciation to the local NHS workers for the sterling work they are doing during this ‘lockdown’. All royalties from this book will go to the Rotherham NHS Trust, so spread the word. Thank you.
You can find the book live in both Kindle and physical copies here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lockdown-Book-Rotherhams-Criminals-ebook/dp/B08CSV7PC2/
