When discussing unsolved murders of women in late Victorian London,
most people think of the depredations of Jack the Ripper, the
Whitechapel Murderer, whose sanguineous exploits have spawned the
creation of a small library of books. But Jack the Ripper was just
one of a string of phantom murderers whose unsolved slayings
outraged late Victorian Britain. The mysterious Great Coram Street,
Burton Crescent and Euston Square murders were talked about with
bated breath, and the northern part of Bloomsbury got the
unflattering nickname of the 'murder neighbourhood' for its
profusion of unsolved mysteries. Marvel at the convoluted Kingswood
Mystery, littered with fake names and mistaken identities; be
puzzled by the blackmail and secret marriage in the Cannon Street
Murder; and shudder at the vicious yet silent killing in St Giles
that took place in a crowded house in the dead of night. This book
is the first to resurrect these unsolved Victorian murder
mysteries, and to highlight the ghoulish handiwork of the Rivals of
the Ripper: the spectral killers of gas-lit London.
