In this first omnibus volume from Geary's increasing storied Treasuries of Murder: The trilogy of murders from the Victorian Age that made up the very first volume of this series ; "Jack the Ripper" as only Geary can narrate it with his slightly ghoulish sense of irony ; "The Fatal Bullet" about the assassination of President James Garfield ; and "The Beast of Chicago" about H.H. Holmes, possibly the first series murderer with chilling methodical means.
