ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS ON TRUE CRIME ACCORDING TO CRIMEREADS. INCLUDED IN THE TOP 10 BEST GIFTS FOR CRIME LOVERS — ACCORDING TO INDEPENDENT CINEMA WEBSITE INDIEWIRE. “When a doctor is a villain, he is always the most terrible criminal. He has both courage and knowledge.” — Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle, “The Speckled Band,” 1892 “Dr. Thomas Neil Cream is undoubtedly the greatest monster our age has ever seen.” — News of the World London, October 23, 1892 “A terrifying crime thriller about a forgotten madman, as devious and malevolent as Jack the Ripper. Dean Jobb combines scientific facts with gripping storytelling that keeps you awake at night. Warning: read with the lights on.” — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY “Jobb tells the story of Cream's life and highlights societal views that allowed him to kill. An absolute trust in physicians created a power imbalance between Cream and the people who sought his help.” — NEW YORK TIMES “Jobb complements the grim central story with meticulously researched details and social mores of the late Victorian era… A vivid, engaging revival of a forgotten Victorian villain.” — KIRKUS REVIEWS “A chilling and gripping book… Jobb’s crime stories cannot be overlooked.” — CRIMEREADS “An incredibly captivating investigation into the crimes of one of the UK’s most brutal serial killers. Told in the spirit of a gothic novel, this story will leave no one indifferent. Together with the author, you will visit different countries and seedy places, in the courtroom, a grim prison, and at the execution site. And you will learn how a society with its prejudices can spawn a poisoner villain.” — ALENA LENKOVSKAYA, criminal lawyer, legal psychologist, author of the blog @alenushkalen How do you envision a Victorian-era serial killer?
