Explore Britain's dark criminal history through the fascinating
objects that have been hidden away in the Crime Museum at Scotland
Yard, a collection that, although world-famous, is so sensitive it
is not open to public view. Each object tells its own story: the
briefcase with a concealed syringe owned by the notorious Kray
twins; the gun Ruth Ellis used to murder her lover David Blakely; a
burnt-out computer from the Glasgow airport car bomb; a picture
from the property of Dennis Nilsen of the grisly drain that was
blocked with human body parts; and the gun that Edward Oxford fired
at Queen Victoria that failed to assassinate her. Updated to
feature new objects that have entered the collection since 2015,
Scotland Yard's History of Crime in 100 Objects is an absorbing,
sometimes shocking and often disturbing journey through criminal
history. Peer within to experience a unique insight into the crimes
and criminals dealt with by Scotland Yard.
Two experienced Ripperologists have applied their joint knowledge
and expertise to the painstaking collation of all the known
official records to produce the ultimate Ripper book - a narrative
account of the murders encompassing all the known evidence. The
most complete work on the Ripper case ever, contains: the entire
contents of the Scotland Yard files covering the full series of
murders; extensive press reports; witness statements and extracts
from police notebooks; documents missing from the official files
and many rare photographs. The Ultimate Jack the Ripper Sourcebook
is not only an invaluable reference, but is also a compelling
account of the Victorian serial murderer whose identity remains one
of criminology's greatest mysteries.
