The Trial, Imprisonment and Death of The Yorkshire Ripper
This book concentrates on the aftermath of Peter Sutcliffe’s murderous campaign, including the trial, his ‘hearing voices’ defence, his life in Broadmoor Hospital and prison, the continued police investigation into further crimes he may have committed, and a look at ‘Wearside Jack.’The trial is covered day-by-day, including Sutcliffe’s own testimony and that of the doctors he had spoken to who had diagnosed him as mentally unwell. Expert cross-examination by the Attorney General Sir Michael Havers, QC, and Harry Ognall, QC, of these doctors showed that their diagnosis was based solely on what Sutcliffe had told them. As the trial was drawing to a close, Sir Lawrence Byford, who wrote the most comprehensive report on the Yorkshire Ripper investigation, began gathering evidence as to the overall efficiency of the police inquiry. He could not understand why the investigation had focused so much on the letters and tape that had been sent in purporting to be from the perpetrator. The man who sent these letters and tape was identified much later as an alcoholic called John Humble. For the first time, we take a look at his life, what made him an alcoholic, and potentially why he sent the tape and letters. Using Home Office files that the author had released under the FOI Act at the National Archives, this is the true story of what happened to the Yorkshire Ripper after his arrest.

V Záhade Siedmich ciferníkov Agatha Christie rozohrala dokonale premyslenú zápletku so špionážnymi prvkami, ktorej rozlúštenie zaskočí aj toho najostrieľanejšieho čitateľa detektívok.
TERAZ AKO SERIÁL SEDEM CIFERNÍKOV NA NETFLIXE
Bohatí manželia Cooteovci, ktorí si na dva roky prenajali sídlo Chimneys, sa radi obklopujú mladými ľuďmi, a tak si doň na pár dní pozvú skupinku priateľov. Jeden z mládencov, Gerry Wade, má veľké problémy s ranným vstávaním, a tak sa ostatní rozhodnú, že si z neho poriadne vystrelia: v noci mu do izby dajú osem budíkov a nastavia ich tak, aby prvý zazvonil o pol siedmej. Na druhý deň ráno však budíky napriek ohlušujúcemu rinčaniu Gerryho z postele nevytiahnu, v tom čase je už totiž mŕtvy. A jeden budík chýba.
Vyšetrovania podozrivého úmrtia zdravého mladého muža sa ujíma polícia, no ani Gerryho kamaráti nezaháľajú. Pátranie ich privedie na stopu záhadných Siedmich ciferníkov a zdá sa, že práve toto tajomné pomenovanie bude kľúčom k objasneniu prípadu. Amatérski pátrači sa však musia mať na pozore, najmä keď dôjde k ďalšej vražde...
