by Geoffrey Abbott (Author)
In this wickedly humorous book, Geoffrey Abbott describes the effectiveness of instruments of torture and reveals the macabre origins of phrases such as gone west or drawn a blank. From the preparation of the victim to the disposal of the body, What a Way to Go covers everything you ever wanted to know about the ultimate penalty and a lot you never thought to ask.
