Book Hero thinking about your next read

Scrupulously researched, this is as full an account as is possible of his life now that Peter Sutcliffe is dead. Inside the Mind of the Yorkshire Ripper uncovers a number of crimes which Peter Sutcliffe was never charged with. The full number of his victims is unknown

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The police believed Sutcliffe was operating only in the Greater Manchester Police, South Yorkshire Police, and West Yorkshire Metropolitan Police force areas, using his car. In fact, Sutcliffe was operating nationally and internationally, using his employer's lorry to commit attacks. Authors Chris Clark and Tim Hicks have meticulously researched Sutcliffe's crimes and reveal many of his previously unknown victims for the first time.

The police failed to deliver justice for the victims' families, and the media has failed to hold the police to account for this failureโ€”both in the original investigation and in subsequent cold-case investigations.

The authors hope that by bringing more of the facts of the case into the public domain and by telling the victims' stories, they can help to bring closure for friends and relatives of victims of the Yorkshire Ripper.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Inside the Mind of the Yorkshire Ripper by Chris Clark and Tim Hicks is praised as a gripping and fascinating exploration of the infamous case. It offers a detailed and methodical forensic investigation, delving into the murders and attempted murders, providing a unique insight into the mind behind the crimes.
