For the first time we get the detective's side of this extraordinary saga. the Yorkshire Ripper: then a sergeant, Bob recalls the chaos and bungling which tragically delayed the serial killer's capture. thrill-seeking serial rapist Clive Barwell, who attacked while on day release from jail for armed robbery. a bizarre shoe fetishist with the twisted ability to kill while staring at a pair of stilettos. plus many more equally compelling crimes.
