{"product_id":"the-annotated-i-caught-crippen-9781911273615","title":"The 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 \u003ci\u003eI CAUGHT CRIPPEN\u003c\/i\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\u003ci\u003e I CAUGHT CRIPPEN\u003c\/i\u003e deals with a variety of other cases that Dew worked on, including the arrest of the international jewel thief Harry the Valet. \u003ci\u003eTHE ANNOTATED I CAUGHT CRIPPEN\u003c\/i\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicholas Connell has written extensively on Walter Dew and Dr. Crippen, including \u003ci\u003eWalter Dew: The Man Who Caught Crippen \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eDoctor Crippen: The Infamous London Cellar Murder of 1910\u003c\/i\u003e.
