Inspector Edmund Reid

[Howard Brown]

Thread devoted to discussion about Edmund Reid...balloon ascensionist and Inspector in "H" Division.

He is also the subject of Stewart Evans' book..."The Man Who Hunted Jack The Ripper".

A little tidbit found elsewhere as well:

I have a feeling that Grey Hunter has a special place in his heart for Inspector Reid...maybe he would care to share his sentiments on Inspector Reid.

The book was actually co-written with Nicholas Connell. A small correction but a significant one. I hope Nick Connell comes back with another Ripper book one day soon!

Yours truly,

Tom,

I hope Nick Connell comes back with another Ripper book one day soon!

I echo that comment. I have just finished, well quite a while ago actually, Nicks book on Dew. Loved it.

I know Stewart thinks very highly of him......I can see why.

This may be the last noteworthy event in Bethnal Green on the part of Reid ( once again with Sgt. Enright )
