The blackout went into effect three days before the declaration of
war and transformed nocturnal London into a criminal's paradise. As
the city pulled together in the face of terrible adversity, the
bomb-ravaged streets became the stalking grounds for killers,
rapists, looters and gangs. The number of bodies retrieved during
the Blitz made it impossible for the authorities to autopsy them
all, providing cover to those who worked with blades, guns and more
sinister tools. Scotland Yard - its resources stretched to the
limit - did its best to tackle a rogues' gallery born of bombs and
blackout, and crimes that continue to fascinate from history's
darkest corners. In Dark City, award-winning crime writer Simon
Read paints a vivid picture of the other side of wartime London,
from the Blackout Ripper and the Acid Bath Murders, to the
notorious Rillington Place killer and his house of corpses.
