Death in the air - Kate Winkler Dawson

In winter 1952,
London automobiles and thousands of coal-burning hearths belched
particulate matter into the air. But the smog that descended on December
5th of 1952 was different; it was a type that held the city hostage for
five long days. Mass transit ground to a halt, criminals roamed the
streets, and 12,000 people died. That same month, there was another
killer at large in London: John Reginald Christie, who murdered at least
seven women. In a braided narrative that draws on extensive interviews,
never-before-published material, and archival research, Dawson
captivatingly recounts the intersecting stories of the these two killers
and their longstanding impact on modern history.
