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 worked for Associated Newspapers (Daily Mail) for thirty years and is a well-known true-crime author. He has spent more time researching Jack the Ripper than anyone else living. He spoke to persons who had witnessed Jack the Ripper's crimes as a child. He has also worked as a reader and crime book adviser for Little, Brown and Penguin Books, as well as a reviewer for publications such as The Times, the New York Times, and the London Evening Standard.
