Synopsis
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.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The untold story of eleven unsolved murders of London women at the time of Jack the Ripper Jack the Ripper is the quintessential Victorian serial killer, and the debate continues with regard to the number of his victims: were there just four or five, or more than nine of them? But there is a profusion of unsolved murders of London women from late Victorian times, and this book presents eleven of the most gruesome and mysterious of them. Marvel at the convoluted Kingswood Mystery and the unsolved Cannon Street Murder of 1866; shudder at the Hoxton Horror and the Great Coram Street Murder of 1872; be puzzled by the West Ham Disappearances and by the unsolved railway murder of Elizabeth Camp in 1898. Murder often came to call at the flyblown lodging-houses and brothels of old Bloomsbury, as well as in the houses of Burton Crescent and Euston Square. Prostitutes were murdered in London brothels in 1863, in 1872 and in 1884; none of the murders were ever solved. There are many books about the Whitechapel fiend, but this is the first one to detail the ghoulish handiwork of the 'Rivals of the Ripper'. AUTHOR: Jan Bondeson is a senior lecturer at Cardiff University and is a respected true crime historian, having written some fourteen books. Titles include 'The London Monster' (THP, 2005), 'Freaks' (THP, 2006) and 'Murder Houses of London' (Amberley, 2014). SELLING POINTS: . Entirely new material, even for specialists . Author is a respected authority in the area . Features original research, as well as rare and unpublished images .
