Requests:  0 Summary:  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 six 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.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.15232 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 364.15232 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.15232 Dawson Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.15232 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.15232 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.15232 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 364.15232 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.15232 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.15232 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList
