Now a major TV series ‘A masterpiece that reads like a thriller’ Time Out

A gripping and probing account of the biggest criminal manhunt in British history.

It is over 40 years since Peter Sutcliffe was convicted of murdering 13 women and attacking 7 more. Still, he remains a killer of almost mythical proportions; his surviving victims, and their families, forever attached to his infamy.

Michael Bilton’s acclaimed account is a powerful indictment of the calamitous investigation that logged over 2 million man-hours of police work – the biggest criminal manhunt in British history. With exclusive access to the detectives involved, the pathologist’s archives and declassified documents, this account reads like the most gripping of thrillers.

I grew up in northern England, with the headlines of the late 70s and the shadow of the Yorkshire Ripper highlighting the need to "get home safely". I have watched countless documantaries, and listened to several books about Peter Sutcliffe. With confidence I can say that this is the definitive account of the Yorkshire Ripper and just about every relevant story including his campaign of horror, his capture, the court case, his incarceration, the inquiry, his impact on modern policing and closure for all concerned. Marston York uses nunerous authentic accents to bring the dialogue to life. Took be back 40 years, to time without mobile phones or personal computers. The scale of Peter Sutcliffe's horror was unprecedented and evidently unmanageable at that time. An exhaustive listen but, in a very good way if this is what you're looking for.

learnt a lot more on what actually happened within the police force and where they went wrong more so than just missed opportunities like how many times he was interviewed. also A lot more victims than I originally thought just not as known because they survived or weren't accepted by the police as potential victims because they weren't working prostitutes

excellent listen

A huge amount of research has gone into the compiling of this book. It deals intensively with the 13 murders and 7+ attacks on random Yorkshire women by Peter Sutcliffe, 'The Yorkshire Ripper'. It also tells of the work, lives and characters of some of the most prominent West Yorkshire detectives who tried to bring the killer to justice for 6 years. Bilton offers a carefully weighed critique of their failure to do so until January 1981. The reader is superb in my opinion, bringing alive the voices and dialects of many characters with fantastic effect.

Detailed and gripping
