Somebody's Husband, Somebody's Son

To his family in the small town of Bingley near Bradford in the north of England, he was known as "our Pete". To the police, who had hunted him for more than six years through the towns and cities of Yorkshire, he was known as the Yorkshire Ripper, the sadistic killer of thirteen women. In this study of Peter Sutcliffe, the man they finally charged, the author has given us one of the most incisive and revelatory books ever written about the life and times, the family and social milieu of a mass murderer.
