An obscure book about an obscure crime spree and long forgotten trial. Predating Jack The Ripper by almost one hundred years, London of 1790 is besieged by a serial slasher. This is long and scholarly work, one that is not a light read; however, it is a fascinating tale of crime, society, class, punishment, and the sado-sexual world none of us studied in Western Civilization.
If you are as fascinated with the criminal mind and investigation as I am this a book for you.
