About This Issue

The striking black, cream and red cover carries the large Murder Casebook masthead with a central monochrome crime-scene photograph and the headline:

“Jack the Stripper”

The secondary cover line identifies the subject as:

“The Hammersmith Nudes Case”

and describes the offender as an unidentified killer who targeted prostitutes.

The case centred on a sequence of murders in and around London during the 1960s and became known in the press as the Hammersmith Nudes murders. The killer was never publicly identified, leaving the case as one of Britain’s more notorious unresolved serial-murder investigations. The issue is a 32-page Marshall Cavendish publication devoted to the case and its investigation.

This is particularly collectible for readers interested in British true crime, unsolved cases, London crime history, vintage crime publications and Marshall Cavendish partworks.
