For over 20 years, the dark secrets of the biggest criminal manhunt in British history have remained a closed book—until now. Wicked Beyond Belief is a powerful indictment of the calamitous investigation that logged two million man–hours of police work. Its revelation of crucial new evidence relating to Sutcliffe’s meticulously planned methods caused newspaper headlines, and it argues convincingly that his crimes were far more extensive than admitted. With exclusive access to the detectives involved, pathologist’s archives, and top–secret reports, Michael Bilton’s expose is as riveting as any thriller.

This was my first book reading about the Yorkshire Ripper. Perhaps I should have read another book first cause this one was so detailed but all in all I did think it was very interesting. It was hard to read and read more murders and he still wasn't caught. To read about all the mistakes that were made and especially the mistake about the letters from someone who was not the ripper. I was also annoyed to find out how against the advice of the judge the psychiatrist still did what they wanted with Sutcliffe. Pissed me off. 3.6 out of 5.
