Wainewright the poisoner : the confession of Thomas Griffiths Wainewright: Regency author, painter, swindler and probable murderer - woven from historical fragments

"In a time rich in unlikely characters, Thomas Griffiths Wainewright (1794 - 1847) was one of the strangest of all. A painter, writer, well-known London dandy and friend of most of the major figures of the romantic era, he was also almost certainly a murderer, possibly several times over. Arrested and convicted of forgery - evidence was lacking to prove the murders - he was transported for life to the barbarous penal colony of Tasmania, where, years later, he died in obscurity. Behind him he left only rumors and fragments of documents, and a legend of evil that fascinated such writers as Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde." From the bookjacket.
