John Lee: the man they could not hang

By Clifford Lee and Derek Lee

Using contemporary newspaper reports, letters and other documents, this book reveals the story of an horrific murder and the infamous attempts to hang John Lee for the crime. The book has a special focus on the letters of Stephen Bryan, who campaigned not only for the benefit of John Lee, but many others. Tragically, most of his activities have been forgotten, although his reputation lasted at a local level long after his death.
