Murder, Magic, Madness
In 1856, William Dove poisoned his wife, was tried and executed. Believing a fortune teller's prediction that he would remarry a more attractive and richer woman, he made a pact with the devil, hired men to perform magic, and then murdered his wife. This book is a study on nineteenth century magic, murder and madness.
