The Murderess and the Hangman

I am currently researching The Murderess and the Hangman, a novel about the famed but forgotten hangman William Marwood, inventor of 'the long drop' for ensuring a swift capital punishment, and the true-life story of murderess Kate Webster, hanged by Marwood in London for killing her landlady for a few pieces of furniture.
