The Strange Case of Israel Lipski by Bob Biderman

The Strange Case of Israel Lipski by Bob Biderman

JUBILE SUMER, JUNE 1887. Britain is deep in lavish celebration of Empire. That same month, in the East End of London a quiet young man, recently arrived from Warsaw, is accused of murdering an Angel. Two writers at the start of their career - Israel Zangwill, a brilliant Anglo-Jewish novelist, and Margaret Harkness, a fiery social reformer - are brought together in a remarkable encounter as they investigate a crime that would change their lives and their vision of themselves, England and the world.

THE STRANGE CASE OF ISRAEL LIPSKI is a brilliant study of London's East End at the turn of the century and a fascinating exploration into a murder case that shook the very foundations of British justice.
