    About this ebook

    This day-by-day account of gruesome tales from York’s past reveals the seedy underbelly of what was historically the most important city in the North. Inside these pages you will find true stories of murder and intrigue, battles and conspiracies, witches and religious martyrs, gruesome executions and horrible accidents. Read about Margaret Clitherow, tortured to death for her beliefs, Richard Scrope, the archbishop executed for treason, and of course the notorious highwayman Richard ‘Dick’ Turpin and his moonlight ride. If you have ever wondered what nasty goings-on occurred in the York of yesteryear, then read on … if you dare!

    LeAnn Rimes

    Born in 1934, Alan Sharp's career began in 1965, with the publication of his acclaimed first novel, A Green Tree in Gedde, but he completed only one more novel before migrating to Hollywood and becoming a much sought after screenwriter. Three of his screenplays are now recognized as classics of the New American Cinema of the 1970s. Since the 1980s, he has completed film projects on Sam Peckinpah's The Osterman Weekend and Rob Roy.
