Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. Hardback, 1st edn. It seems impossible that two stranglers of women could both live in the same house, yet this is what the author maintains happened in Notting Hill in 1949. John Reginald Halliday Christie was already a murderer, with a score of at least 2, when Timothy John Evans, much younger, and on the edge of idiocy, came to live with his wife at 10 Rillington Place. Christie is supposed to have framed Evans over the killing of his wife and baby daughter, and was even the principal Crown witness against Evans. The author challenges Timothy Evans' innocence and refutes Ludovic Kennedy's "10 Rillington Place" to claim that Evans was guilty of the murders. With careful research the author highlights inaccuracies in previous accounts of the case and builds a convincing and controversial argument. However, as a direct result of threatened legal action by Ludovic Kennedy (which was settled out of court), this first edition of the book was withdrawn from sale, which now makes it a scarce title. Illus., Appendix and Index. 218pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of Paul Daniel, ex-editor of the 'Ripperologist' magazine (December 1996 No. 8 - February 2000 No. 27) with his name rubber stamp, and date in green felt tip to bep.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. Dust Jacket. 8vo. pp. xiv, [ii], 218. 8pp. photographic illustrations. Original publisher's black cloth lettered gilt on spine. Blue and white illustrated dust jacket lettered yellow, red and white on spine and upper cover. ISBN 0316909467 Ian Gilmour's copy with his ownership inscription on front pastedown endpaper and his pencil comments, underlining and markings in the text. Other material loosely inserted includes: Handwritten postcard from Ludovic Kennedy to Lord Gilmour, The Ferry House, Isleworth, Middlesex with headed address of Ashdown, Avebury, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8 1RF dated 3. 7. 94. and consisting of about 70 words in which he says the review 'was, I thought, brilliant, managing to cover all the salient points with pin-point accuracy. What a horrible fellow J. E. sounds. As you say, one longs to know what went on in the Eddowes household before Michael's death.' Typed signed letter from John Eddowes to Lord Craigmillar [Ian Gilmour, Baron Gilmour of Craigmillar] addressed from 35 Anhalt Road, London SW11 4NZ dated 17 November 1994. A4. 6pp., recto only, including 2pp listing thirty-six points in 'Two Killers of Rillington Place' not seen in the Brabin Report. Two typewritten copies of Gilmour's review (one with a couple of corrections in his hand) accompanied by a photocopy of it taken from the Daily Telegraph. A4. 2pp., recto only, handwritten reference notes by Gilmour on ruled paper. Three newspaper reviews, a four page photocopy of a review and a flyer for the book. Michael H. B. Eddowes (1903-1992) lawyer, author and investigator and father of the author wrote a book entitled 'The Man on Your Conscience' in which he claimed Evans was innocent and that John Christie was responsible for the murders of both Evans' wife and child. Timothy Evans who was hanged for the murder of his daughter was subsequently pardoned and Ludovic Kennedy wrote a book citing Evans' fate as one of the first miscarriages of justice. John Eddowes regarded his father's views as those of a fantasist and a liar and set out in his book to prove him and others such as Ludovic Kennedy wrong, arguing that Evans was guilty of both murders. Very good. Very good in very good dust jacket. Seller Inventory # C103699
