Edinburgh-based publishing house Black & White has revealed the most notorious homicides committed in Aberdeen over the last hundred years in Blood and Granite, True Crime from Aberdeen, the first ever book on murder and mystery in twentieth-century Aberdeen.

Written by Norman Adams, a journalist who reported on many of the chilling crimes he now recalls so vividly, Blood and Granite is compelling reading for those who are too young to remember – and those who cannot forget.

All are human tragedies from the dark side of life, including: the tragic love affair that led to the gallows in 1963 – the first hanging in Aberdeen for 106 years; the double life of brilliant scientist Dr Brenda Page of Aberdeen University, battered to death in her flat in 1978 and the barbaric killing of a nun at St Mary’s Cathedral in 1988 that revolted a city.

Containing a wide range of cases from love affairs gone bad to dismembered bodies – reflecting the darker side of the Granite City – Blood and Granite is published in paperback from Black & White at £7.99 on 24th July.
