Murder Tales: The Yorkshire Ripper

De: H. N. Lloyd

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Between 1975 and 1981, fear ruled the north of England. A single man prowled its streets, stalking women and shattering lives. As the body count grew, entire cities fell silent – women too terrified to step outside after dark, communities paralysed by the knowledge that the killer could be anyone.
Thirteen women murdered. The largest manhunt in British history. Tens of thousands of interviews, hundreds of leads, and yet the investigation veered off course – derailed by a hoax so persuasive and coincidences so unbelievable they feel like fiction. Families were ripped apart, children left motherless, and even the lead detective paid with his health and, ultimately, his life.
In this powerful volume of Murder Tales, H. N. Lloyd delves beyond the headlines to uncover the real story of the man the press named The Yorkshire Ripper – and the husband, son and friend his family knew as Peter Sutcliffe. With meticulous research and chilling detail, Lloyd reveals how a monster hid in plain sight, how justice was repeatedly missed, and how Britain was changed forever.
A gripping, heartbreaking account of one of the most infamous serial killers of the 20th century – essential reading for true-crime readers who think they already know the story.
