Peter Tyrer

Peter Tyrer is a retired Professor of Community Psychiatry from Imperial College, London. His special interest is in personality, and he believes that our personalities are primarily responsible for what we do and how we behave. In the course of his long career, he has come across many unusual personalities, many mysterious events and some unexpected deaths. This book is partly derived from these experiences but is different as it covers a period of over 400 years. But good mysteries often take many years to be unravelled and this one still has a sting, or possibly a bonus, hidden in its tail.
