Richard Gordon Private Life of Doctor Crippen
William Heinemann Ltd 1981 0434302570 / 9780434302574 Hardcover Very Good
"First Edition, solid binding, light rubbing of cover edges, light creasing and chipping of dust jacket() Doctor Crippen's murder of his wife, aided and abetted by his mistress Ethel Le Neve, ranks among one of the most notorious crimes of the twentieth century and has earned Crippen a place in the gruesome Chamber of Horrors. Here, Richard Gordon skilfully recreates the chilling atmosphere of the murder - the remains found under the cellar floor, the head still missing to this day, Crippen's transatlantic capture and arrest - and how it shook respectable society to the core. Using this infamous character as his case study, Gordon also reveals the conflicting suavity and savagery of the Edwardian age. ID: mon0000106118"

Richard Gordon The Private Life of Jack the Ripper
London Heinemann 1980. 1980 0434302562 / 9780434302567 Hardcover Very Good
"clean, tight, some light cover edge handling, some light front end fly leaf inscription. () In this remarkably shrewd and witty novel, Victorian London is brought to life with a compelling authority. Richard Gordon wonderfully conveys the boisterous, often lusty panorama of life for the very poor - hard, menial work: violence: prostitution: disease. The Private Life of Jack the Ripper is a masterly evocation of the practice of medicine in 1888 - the year of Jack the Ripper. It is also a dark and disturbing medical mystery. Why were his victims so silent? And why was there so little blood? ID: mon0000101150"
