Geary explores the ghastliest and most famous murders of Victorian England. Geary has researched the subject extensively and presents, with his own inimitable tongue-in-cheek style, the Jack the Ripper mystery as told through a journal of a fascinated Englishman of the day. Both factual and darkly funny, Geary shines an ironic light on the repressive society that spawned such a monster and its hypocritical reaction to it.

The Assassination of President Garfield Geary explores the first assassination of an American president by an obsessive-complusive stalker, a deluded loser who thought his action would bring him national glory. Once again, beyond a mere presentation of facts, the author surreptitiously unpeels a bit of national American Psyche. Fourth in the popular Victorian Murder series.

'Geary returns with another typically superlative work... Artfully precise reconstruction... A Delight!' - Publisher's Weekly starred review. The infamous story of the Lizzy Borden murders reproduced here in Geary's distinctive style.
