London, 1953. Police discover the bodies of three young women hidden in a wall at 10 Rillington Place, a dingy terrace house in Notting Hill. A nationwide manhunt is launched for the tenant of the ground-floor flat, a softly spoken former policeman named Reg Christie....
In this riveting true story, the UK's top-selling true crime author Kate Summerscale mines the archives to uncover the lives of Christie’s victims, the tabloid frenzy that their deaths inspired, and the truth about what happened inside the house.
