Recensioner i media

‘A masterpiece that reads like a thriller.’ Time Out‘There is unlikely to be a more cmprehensive or carefully researched account of the case. To read ‘Wicked Beyond Belief’ is to have a sense of being physically present at the day-to-day investigation, experiencing the frustrations, the stress and the public outrage at its lack of success as the years passed and murder followed.’ P.D.James, Mail on Sunday‘Bilton knows more about the Ripper case than anyone living.’ Blake Morrison, Guardian
