"Killed a Young Girl, It was Fine and Hot" is the true story of the murder of eight year old Fanny Adams in Alton in 1867. It outlines the details of the dreadful murder itself, the arrest and subsequent trial of Frederick Baker and also compares it to the case of Daniel McNaughton whose case laid down the guidelines for the treatment of the criminally insane in court. The book also explains how the expression "Sweet FA" came into common usage in the English Language.
