Summary

Many freemasons have made the world a better place, while some have been villainous criminals. Members of the Craft have developed forensic science, solved famous crimes and invented all manner of things. It was a mason who formed the Special Branch to fight terrorism and another who brought the Moors Murders to an end. The Elephant Man was rescued by a mason and another masonic doctor was the first to identify an occupational cancer. On the other hand there have been several evil masonic doctors who committed murder, and a masonic surgeon who may have committed regicide, although his motives were merciful. In some cases, such as the Cleveland Street Scandal, masons found themselves on both sides of the law. There have been masons of every character, and none more extreme, shocking and entertaining than those covered in this book.
