Crippen: The Mild Murderer

By Tom Cullen. "Dr [Hawley Harvey] Crippen is remembered chiefly as the quarry in a  thrilling chase which ended with his capture on the high seas." It was also the fashion in some circles to claim he was Jack the Ripper.  This seventies hardcover has a lot going on on the dust jacket, but aside from some cornerwear, it and the book are in fine shape, a little scribblage on the flyleaf from a previous stop but a fine (if unsettling) reading copy.
