Books by Roy Archibald Hall

Archibald Thomas Hall was born in Glasgow in 1924. He was one of the most notorious criminals of the 20th century - a conman, jewel thief and murderer - and spent much of his life in and out of prison. He committed his first murder in 1975, while working as a butler to Lady Hudson at her palatial home in Scotland. His former lover David Wright arrived at the house and was employed as a gamekeeper. After a vicious argument, Hall murdered Wright and hid the body. It was the beginning of a string of murders that only stopped when, in 1978, the law caught up with him and he was arrested. He died in Kingston Prison in 2002.
