Publisher's Synopsis

Albert Pierrepoint was the man who hanged Ruth Ellis, Lord Haw Haw, Derek Bentley and the Belsen Nazi war criminals. For him, hanging was a 'remote and skilled mystery, a sacred craft', but one that would be abolished in his lifetime. The story of his life is a fascinating insight into the changing face of Britain in the 20th century.
