<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>It features appendices of Dew's other writings and articles written about the celebrated detective during his lifetime.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In 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 <em>I CAUGHT CRIPPEN</em> 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<em> I CAUGHT CRIPPEN</em> deals with a variety of other cases that Dew worked on, including the arrest of the international jewel thief Harry the Valet. <em>THE ANNOTATED I CAUGHT CRIPPEN</em> 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.</p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Nicholas Connell has written extensively on Walter Dew and Dr. Crippen, including <em>Walter Dew: The Man Who Caught Crippen </em>and <em>Doctor Crippen: The Infamous London Cellar Murder of 1910</em>. He is also author (with Stewart P. Evans) of <em>The Man Who Hunted Jack the Ripper: Edmund Reid-Victorian Detective</em>.</p>
