Jack Sweet relates shocking true events and personal stories
which have terrified and horrified this seemingly placid county over
the centuries. Spanning three hundred years from the chaos of the
English Civil War to the mayhem of the Second World War, he
recounts such tragic tales as the Murder of Marion Bagnall, the
Deadly Bellows Matter, A Fatal Football Game and The Shocking
Death of Sergeant Denty.
For many, Somerset evokes images of rural charm and serenity, a
pastoral oasis of calm in the south west. However, Jack Sweet in
his latest book shows a different Somerset, a shocking, surprising
and sometimes strange aspect to the county of his birth, the land of
legend, beauty and romance.
