In March 1953, London police discovered the bodies of three young women walled up in the wall of 10 Rillington Place in Notting Hill. A search of the building revealed another body under the floorboards and numerous bones in the garden. The tenant was a quiet former police officer named John Reg Christie. But three years earlier, a double murder had already been investigated at this address, and the killer had been hanged. Had they caught the wrong man?

The story instantly became a sensation. Star reporters scrambled for exclusive coverage, trying to understand the killer's character and motives. Christie seemed like a new kind of maniac: empty, unfeeling, a product of the brutal post-war world. He loved to watch women—and he loved to gas them. What drove him to murder? And how did he manage to outwit the investigators so he could continue killing?

Kate Summerscale's "The Gas Killer" details the chilling case.
