The book includes absorbing real life accounts of nearly every reported murder that took place around Derby during the twentieth century. It features well-known and lesser known cases but all arey fascinating tales of jealousy, revenge and tragedy.

The people whose stories are told in this volume all had one thing in common. All of them were accused of taking the life of at least one other person, faced a trial for that crime, and were sentenced to hang by the neck until they were dead.

Some, such as John Silk, who beat his mother to death, Percy Atkin, who buried his wife alive, or Albert Burrows, who claimed four lives and threw the bodies down a disused mine shaft, did pay that ultimate penalty.

The killers in this book have claimed the lives of spouses, parents, friends and strangers, for motives ranging from anger to jealousy, and old-fashioned greed.

Read their stories for yourself and decide if those who died at the end of a rope all deserved that fate, and equally, if all those who escaped that terrible fate, should have done so.

Fantastic ball
My son's dog is a pit and she couldn't destroy it like her other toys. Large or xtra large is better

Great for a very aggressive chewer
Our neighbor has a lab that's trained exclusively as a duck dog. My wife and I play with her on a daily basis and these Chuck It balls and her favorite retrieval toy and hold up well to some of the most aggressive chewing I've every seen - she non-stop chews on the ball during 45 minute play times. As a duck dog she's trained to retrieve in water and these balls float very well and she's never been able to puncture a ball despite her chewing. A great value that lasts.

great sturdy ball for aggressive chewers!
This is my 100-pound doodle's very favorite ball - he is obsessed with it. I keep at least two in storage at all times just in case his goes missing. He is a strong chewer and these are VERY difficult to destroy - not completely impossible (he put a gash in one), but pretty close!

Better than tennis balls for dogs
Color: Orange, Size: Large
My trainer said better for my German Shepherds than tennis balls. They seem to like them, and they last a lot longer than regular tennis balls. We started using regular tennis balls as the dog ones broke first time out. They still managed to break the regular tennis balls also, just not a quickly. Once I found out tennis balls were not good on their teeth I bought these. The rubber ones are great.
