Deliver Us From Evil - The Yorkshire Ripper: the hunt, the arrest, the trial. The full horrific story

"AUTHOR’S NOTE. This book is the product of two and a half years' intensive research. It was virtually completed prior to January 1981. The main text of the book stands as it did then. It was written without the benefit of hindsight. I believe that this book raises many important issues and questions, not least the one that I wish to direct to the Chief Constable of West Yorkshire, Ronald Gregory. In June 1980 during my second interview with Assistant Chief Constable George Oldfield I stated: 'I believe that the man you are looking for is a lorry driver who lives in Bradford and works in the Baildon/Bingley/Shipley areas of that city.' How, Chief Constable, could one man arrive at that correct solution? A solution that eluded your police force for five and a half years?" [rear cover:] "The Murders, the Arrest, the Trial. First World Publication of the Full Story. David Yallop is the investigative writer whose previous books, including the bestselling TO ENCOURAGE THE OTHERS and BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT?, have solved four murder mysteries. In this, his new book, he turns to the most infamous murderer in the world today — the Yorkshire Ripper. This is the story of a man who killed his women victims with grotesque cruelty. Who eluded one of the greatest hunts in history. And it is the story of the numbing fear that gripped northern England where, if you were a woman, you might very suddenly die a violent and obscene death. Following two years' intensive research with police officers, the victims’ relatives, pathologists, prostitutes and many others, David Yallop has produced an investigative account of murder that captures in full the evil reality of the man they called the Yorkshire Ripper. And, most remarkable of all, he identified before the arrest where the solution to the murders lay.
