About This Item
St. Martin's Press, 2006. First edition. Hardcover. Like New/Very Good . 6x0x9. In his own darkly humorous style, Geoffrey Abbott describes the instruments used and their effectiveness and reveals the macabre origins of familiar phrases such as âgone westâ or âdrawn a blank,â as well as the jargon of the underworld. He covers everything from the preparation of the victim to the disposal of the body. Execution is everything you ever wanted to know about the ultimate penalty---and a lot you never thought to ask.
