The Grassington Murder - Fact or Fiction?
On the 1st April 1766, the quiet Yorkshire Dales market town of Grassington was rocked by the disappearance of its popular local doctor, Dr Richard Petty. When the doctor's body was finally discovered, the fearsome Tom Lee, already a notorious highwayman, was arrested. The townsfolk of Grassington were convinced of Lee's guilt, but could they prove their case in court before Lee could kill again?
Best selling writer, Mark Bridgeman, (author of The Dark Side of the Dales), presents his meticulously researched story of Tom Lee - the man who thought he could escape the gallows.
The Grassington Murder includes Joseph Robershaw's original version of the story, 'Tom Lee: A Wharfedale Tragedy' (painstakingly transcribed from the original publication by Mark), and in print here for the first time in more than a century.
Thanks to some newly unearthed evidence, Mark also questions the truth of the accepted legend surrounding Tom Lee and asks: How many other murders did he commit?
