Description:Detective Inspector Scholes joined the Metropolitan police in February 1888 aged twenty three. In the Autumn of that same year he, along with hundreds of other officers, was drafted into Whitechapel to hunt for the elusive Jack the Ripper. He met his first murderer in the infamous Mrs Pearecy, who wheeled her unfortunate victims around Kentish Town in a pram before dumping their bodies. In a career spanning thirty six years he met the most callous, fiendish, depraved and desperate criminals that walked the streets of London town. Some, like Jack the Ripper, you may have heard of. Others, like Lily Miers, the West End’s most prolific shoplifter, and Chicago May, The Worst Woman in the World’ you may not. Here, for the first time, GS Burroughs proposes a sensational solution to the unsolved murder of Emily Dimmock, in ‘The Camden Town Murder’ of 1907. In 1923, now employed by the Port of London Authority Police, Detective Inspector Scholes boarded the SS Morea and seized letters that proved the guilt of Mrs Edith Thompson in the murder of her husband in the ‘Ilford Murder Case.’ Edith Thompson and her lover Freddie Bywaters went to the gallows for their crime. But was Edith Thompson an innocent woman wrongly convicted, as some have suggested? Or a scheming, callous, murderous woman, responsible for the deaths of two men in the primes of their lives? For the first time in over ninety years, GS Burroughs examines the letters and asks: was Edith Thompson guilty?This is a fascinating, gruesome and often sensational account of some of the most desperate and enigmatic criminals you’ve probably never heard of.Until now.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
