Item description from seller

Softcover. When the remnants of the dismembered body of Mrs Crippen, better known by her stage-name of Belle Elmore, were found buried in the cellar of 39 Hilldrop Crescent in 1910, a true-life drama as gripping as any in fiction began to unfold. No other murder case had so many disparate ingredients or such a motley cast - testimony from music-hall artists, a false obituary notice, the mild-mannered doctor and his mistress posing as father and son, a race across the Atlantic in 2 liners, one carrying the 2 fugitives, the other the hunters, and the first use of wireless telegraphy in a murder hunt. This 'File' treats history as news, news as history, by telling the story of the case as it was told at the time; press cuttings, pictures, posters and other ephemera are used to recreate the suspense and irresistible fascination felt by readers over 90-yrs. ago. 96pp. 4to. softcover. With previous owner's b/plate + label on fpd, o/w covers Nr. F.
