The Ordeal of Richard Yale Drew by Richard Whittington-Egan

The Ordeal of Richard Yale Drew by Richard Whittington-Egan

An examination of the murder of Reading tobacconist, Alfred Oliver and the inquest into his death. Popular opinion was that the prime murder suspect was Philip Yale Drew, a flamboyant, eccentric actor but Whittington-Egan suggests that his hounding was the result of dubious evidence and motivation.

Richard Whittington-Egan has been pursuing the study of Jack the Ripper for longer than anyone else alive. As a young boy, he talked to old people who had lived through the Ripper's activities and were then still living in the East End. Richard spent thirty years as a journalist with Associated Newspapers (Daily Mail) and is a well-respected true crime writer. His previous books include Tales of Liverpool Murder, Mayhem and Mystery, The Bedside Book of Murder, The Great British Torso Mystery and Murder Files. He has also acted as reader and adviser on crime books to Little, Brown, and Penguin Books, and as a reviewer for The Times, the New York Times, and the London Evening Standard among others. He lives in Great Malvern.
