True Detective – November 2018

The distinctive vintage cover of this special issue of True Detective is just one of several nods to the magazine’s illustrious past! Within its pages you’ll find a double-sided poster featuring two classic covers of yesteryear and Part 1 of the fascinating tale of “When True Detective Captured John Dillinger.”

“Murder Was A Mystery At This Folkestone Shop”, meanwhile, takes us back to the Kent of the mid-50s when a football pools win proved a crucial piece of evidence in catching a killer. And we travel back to 50s Ireland, too, for “Questions & Answers – A Terrible Night In County Kildare”, and a murder that proved a remarkable sequel to one committed in Belfast just three days earlier…

Elsewhere, we go back to 30s Melbourne for “Hanged In Australia – The Black And White Murder,” while this month’s “River of Death” tale asks, in 20s London: “Did Wrong Man Hang For Tilbury Ship Murder?”
