Description

A gripping account of the biggest criminal manhunt in British history, Wicked Beyond Belief is a powerful indictment of the investigation that followed the conviction of Peter Sutcliffe. With exclusive access to the detectives involved, the pathologist's archives and declassified documents, this book reads like a thriller. The case of the Yorkshire Ripper remains a source of fascination and horror, with its 13 confirmed victims and seven more attacked. Michael Bilton's book sheds new light on the investigation, which logged over 2 million man-hours of police work. The author's access to key sources provides a unique insight into the events of that time. Through its detailed and probing account, Wicked Beyond Belief raises questions about the effectiveness of the investigation and the impact on the victims and their families.
