Murder Casebook

Marshall Cavendish partwork from early 90s

So much sought-after these, we've usually got all 150 casebooks plus special issues, binders etc, all in first class nick. Grab em while you can!

When buying individual issues, please note that some are in much higher demand than others. Scarcity is reflected in the price. In the case of binders, there's usually a volume number sticker but these are seldom seen beyond No 9; unfortunately, 10 are required for the whole series so you may need to invent your own numbering system.

We try to indicate availability with a number in brackets () after the title. At busy times, we cannot always guarantee this is accurate. If there's no figure shown, you can probably assume we have several copies.
