The full story of the life & times of Kieran Patrick Kelly, the London Underground Serial Killer, who wandered up & down the Northern Line of the London Underground between 1960 & 1983, pushing innocent people that he had never met under trains, & who finished up killing over thirty people. The book provides a full biography of Kelly, discussing the details of his crimes, his victims & his ability to evade justice; he managed to secure mistrials or acquittals in twenty-five trials before being eventually convicted & sentenced to die to prison, which he did in Durham, in 2001. It could be argued that Kelly is the most investigated serial killer in the history of the world. His murders were investigated as they occurred between 1953 & 1983; they were re-investigated in 1983 & again in 2015. The author of this book played major roles in the two latter enquiries, conducting the entire enquiry in 1983 & acting as a consultant to the 2015 enquiry. More is known about Kelly than any other serial killer in history. He was arrested before he had finished killing, then murdered his cellmate in the police station & was interviewed by the author ten minutes after this final murder, before spending the next two years discussing his crimes & his motivations with the author. The end result is a truly unique insight into the mind of a serial killer! ...

London Unfurled is a splendid panorama drawing of both banks of the Thames between Hammersmith Bridge & the Millennium Dome presented in a concertina format between two hard covers. Printed back to back, with the north side of the river on one side & the southern bank on the reverse, the concertina format enables one to view two pages at a time, or open the whole drawing to its impressive 25-foot /7.62-metres length. Drawn by the Italian artist Matteo Pericoli, best know for his books on New York & the 397-foot long mural at the JFK’s America Airlines terminal, the panorama, once such a popular art form for illustrating books & atlases, underlines how interesting detail can be much better presented by a good drawing than a photograph. The panorama was drawn in August 2010 & presents a snapshot of the city’s skyline with its tallest building, The Shard, completed about two-thirds of the way up. The accompanying booklet

Includes::
introductions by Will Self & Iain Sinclair plus a page-by-page reproduction of the whole panorama with a visual key identifying significant buildings, bridges & districts of London. The panorama & the booklet come in an elegant protective presentation box.

London Underground Timeline

London Underground Time Line is the story of the London Underground network, from 1863 to the present day. The book charts the system as it evolved from the early cut and cover Metropolitan and Metropolitan & District Rlys, through to the early deep level tubes, such as the City & South London, Hampstead, Central London and Baker Street & Waterloo, which were cut through the London clay and are the backbone of the modern system. The book looks at the trains, infrastructure and operating systems that make up this famous and extensive transport network that is the envy of the world. The book takes the reader on a journey through time from the Victorian steam era, through to the system of today with its new S Stock and futuristic project for driverless trains, which are planned to
enter service within the next decade. The book contains many old and often rare pictures and maps of the system at various periods of its development, which will fascinate and intrigue the reader.
