If it bleeds, it leads  this maxim is as true now as it was 300 years ago. Crime is the staple of the news, and our appetite for these dark and dangerous stories shows no sign of abating.

In this colourful history of the wild world of crime reporting since 1700, Duncan Campbell reveals what its really like to deal with murderers, gangsters, robbers, cat burglars, victims, informers and detectives, looking at the hacks in the macs and the Murder Gang who would go to any lengths to get a story  and serve it up to an ever-eager reading public.

It is not a grim beat  the phrase gallows humour did not come from nowhere. All of human emotion is here: hate, love, greed, desire, fear, jealousy, anger, revenge, redemption, compassion. Crime is a prism through which we see society and its phobias. As the relationships between the press, public, police and criminals are now being questioned as never before, Well All Be Murdered in Our Beds! tells the compelling, sometimes scandalous tale of the stories and storytellers that have entertained, shocked and appalled us  and will continue to do so.

"Very entertaining  plenty of scandal  and a nostalgic appeal
 The Spectator

Cracking history of crime reporting
Big Issue

Duncan Campbell  has gathered their tales and charted their folklore in this jolly book. In truth, its less an academic social history than a set of yarns, many garnered, polished and chortled over in saloon bars the length and breadth of Fleet Street from the days when the crime correspondents were the princes of the newspaper trade.
