Anbieter: Loretta Lay Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Softcover / Paperback. Zustand: Fine. 2nd edition. Softcover. New Edn. In this riveting reconstruction, the authors join forces to discover the truth about the Ratcliffe Highway murders. During the dark nights of December 1811 in London's East End, two households, including a young mother and her baby, were brutally clubbed to death. These vicious crimes provoked nationwide panic and the Government offered an unprecedented reward for the conviction of the murderer. Inexperienced magistrates grappled with the mystery, against a background of mounting hysteria. Eventually a seaman named John Williams was convicted of the murders and executed. But was he really the notorious East End killer, or just another victim? Drawing on public records, newspaper clippings and hitherto unpublished sources, the authors expertly sift the evidence to shed new light on this infamous mystery. Illus. + Map, Epilogue, Bibliog. + People in the Case. 263pp. trade size soft cover. From the library of Paul Daniel, ex-editor of the 'Ripperologist' magazine (December 1996 No. 8 - February 2000 No. 27) with his name rubber stamp and green felt-tip date to inside back cover. Lightly browned pp. o/w Nr. F. with no creasing to covers. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 20296
