Abstract

"The Wallace case is one of the most notorious murder cases of all time. The issue of whether Wallace was guilty of innocent of his wife's brutal murder has been the subject of conjecture among lawyers. Eighty years on, the case remains unsolved. For several commentators the murder of Julia Wallace was the 'perfect murder'." - cover
