In 1963 George Wilson, the landlord of the Fox and Grapes public house in Sneinton, Nottingham was brutally stabbed to death outside his pub. The pub was known to all of the citizens of Nottingham as "The Pretty Windows" and this name became synonymous with one of Nottingham's most vicious and frenzied murders.

George Wilson's attacker was never brought to justice.

This book charts a brief history of Sneinton and the part that the pub played, and still plays, in the local community.

It uses contemporary newspaper reports to examine the murder, and explores the possible links to other murders committed in the same area in the years immediately prior to and just after 1963.
