About this Item

Hardback. SIGNED, NUMBERED, LIMITED EDITION. In 1889 Victorian England was shocked to its very core by a scandalous murder case in Liverpool. A young American woman, Florence Maybrick, was found guilty of killing her much older husband James by poisoning him with arsenic extracted from flypapers. It was a story that had everything: sex, drugs and adultery. Queen Victoria and three American presidents were to be caught up in the drama, and Florence was to spend fifteen years in prison for the crime - but did she really murder her husband?In 1992, the story took a new and even more dramatic twist. A diary was found, allegedly written by James Maybrick, in which he supposedly confessed to being the world s most notorious serial killer: Jack the Ripper. The diary has proved to be one of the most controversial historical documents of all time. To some the diary is a true account, a window into the mind of the killer. To others, it is an obvious and transparent hoax. Using a large amount of new material and research, the authors of this book present their evidence which they believe finally solves two of the greatest mysteries in the annals of crime. Illus. in colour throughout, Bibliog. and Index. 360pp. 4to. h/back. FLAT SIGNED BY BOTH AUTHORS, NUMBERED, LIMITED EDITION (to 200). Pictorial glazed covers, dw. not required. New. A heavy book which will require additional postage.
