THE RIPPER FILE

Hardback, 1st UK edn. Using archive material, most of it unpublished since it first appeared at the time of the killings, Melvin Harris reconstructs the horrors of those days, telling the story of the murders and the suspects as they come to light. He shows how the police, already demoralised by scandal in their ranks, conducted their investigations in confused disarray, compounding their mistakes with faulty reasoning. Illus., Appendix and Note on Bibliography. 174pp. 4to. h/back. Nr. F. in Vg+ dw. which has sl. faded sp. A fairly heavy book which will require additional postage if shipped overseas.
