{"product_id":"1888-peter-stubley-9780752465432","title":"1888: London Murders in the Year of the Ripper","description":"In 1888 Jack the Ripper made the headlines with a series of horrific murders that remain unsolved to this day. But most killers are not shadowy figures stalking the streets with a lust for blood. Many are ordinary citizens driven to the ultimate crime by circumstance, a fit of anger or a desire for revenge. Their crimes, overshadowed by the few, sensational cases, are ignored, forgotten or written off. This book examines all the known murders in London in 1888 to build a picture of society. Who were the victims? How did they live, and how did they die? Why did a husband batter his wife to death after she failed to get him a cup of tea? How many died under the wheels of a horse-driven cab? Just how dangerous was London in 1888?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Stubley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0752465430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780752465432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 4.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Peter Stubley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443653914879,"sku":"9780752465432","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d764a97-34a7-4ffc-bfbe-827726b411e7.jpg?v=1777206910","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/1888-peter-stubley-9780752465432","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
