About This Issue

The front cover uses the familiar black, cream and red Murder Casebook design, with a central monochrome portrait of George Ince framed in red.

The main headline is:

“Ordeal of Innocence”

The cover positions the case around mistaken implication and wrongful suspicion, with George Ince presented as a gangland figure whose appearance allegedly linked him to a crime he could not have committed.

This makes the issue particularly interesting for collectors of:

• Vintage true-crime publications
• Historic British crime cases
• Gangland history
• Wrongful accusation / miscarriage-of-justice material
• Marshall Cavendish partworks
• Murder Casebook back issues
