520    This is the first fully comprehensive biography on the 
       hangman James Billington, a former pub entertainer and 
       barber who secured the post of executioner for London and 
       the Home Counties. The reader is introduced to the real 
       Billington, illuminating the dark side of a man who held 
       the mandate to kill. Three of his sons followed in his 
       footsteps and together the family were responsible for 218
       executions in Great Britain between 1884 and 1905. The 
       stories behind all of Billington’s executions are also 
       included.
