Woman at the Devil's Door is a thrilling look at this notorious murderer and the webs she wove.Discover the haunting untold true story of the woman whose crimes inspired speculation that Jack the Ripper was a woman.On October 24, 1890, a woman was discovered on a pile of rubbish in Hampstead, North London. Her arms were lacerated and her face bloodied; her head was severed from her body save a few sinews. Later that day, a blood-soaked stroller was found leaning against a residential gate, and the following morning the dead body of a baby was found hidden underneath a nettle bush. So began the chilling story of the Hampstead Tragedy.Eventually, Scotland Yard knocked on the door of No. 2 Priory Street, home to Mary Eleanor Pearcey, the pretty 24-year-old mistress whose dying request was as bizarre and mysterious as her life. Woman at the Devil's Door is a thrilling look at this notorious murderer and the webs she wove.
lt;P>Sarah Beth Hopton came by her love of crime writing honestly; her father was a detective and a graduate of Quantico's FBI Academy, and he shared his love of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes with her at an early age. She grew up visiting her dad at the county jail and poring over his old, unsolved case files or eating a Snickers bar with Old Smokey, the beloved District Attorney. Hopton is currently an Assistant Professor in the English Department at Appalachian State University. She is working on her second book, which details the Mullins Massacre of 1892 at the Pound Gap between Kentucky and Virginia.
