Overview
Uncover London's most infamous and brutal 19th-century murder. In 1838, Eliza Grimwood, a high-class prostitute, is found viciously murdered in her Waterloo Road home. Her throat is cut, and her abdomen is ripped. The client is nowhere to be seen. Jan Bondeson dissects the convoluted investigation, revealing suspects from an alcoholic bricklayer to a royal duke. He links this crime to other Victorian slayings, proposing the Ripper of Waterloo Road was a serial killer with four victims. Using the preserved diary of the lead police officer, Bondeson crafts a gripping true crime account that inspired Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. For readers of true crime history and unsolved mysteries, this is a chilling journey into London's dark past.
