{"product_id":"annotated-i-caught-crippen","title":"Annotated I Caught Crippen","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1910 Chief Inspector Walter Dew became the most famous detective in the world after a transatlantic chase resulted in him capturing the American murderer Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen. This was the first time that wireless telegraphy had resulted in the arrest of a murderer and it was Dew's final investigation for Scotland Yard. After retiring from the Metropolitan Police and working as a private detective Dew began to write and in 1938 his autobiography \u003cem\u003eI CAUGHT CRIPPEN\u003c\/em\u003e was published. It subsequently became an important work for crime historians and has long been out-of-print. Dew's accounts of the Crippen case and his futile hunt for Jack the Ripper are the lengthiest ever written by a police officer closely involved in the investigations. The latter part of\u003cem\u003e I CAUGHT CRIPPEN\u003c\/em\u003e deals with a variety of other cases that Dew worked on, including the arrest of the international jewel thief Harry the Valet. \u003cem\u003eTHE ANNOTATED I CAUGHT CRIPPEN\u003c\/em\u003e makes this classic work available again. It contains a full transcription of the original text, annotated with footnotes including additional material from a newspaper serialisation of Dew's memoirs that has never appeared in a book before. It also features appendices of Dew's other writings and articles written about the celebrated detective during his lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mango Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51937066221799,"sku":"9781911273615","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_04e838b5-7191-4d07-b759-f766dd6ef3fa.jpg?v=1774997278","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/annotated-i-caught-crippen","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
