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 Devils Door is a thrilling look at this notorious murderer and the webs she wove. 600 10 $a Pearcey, Mary Eleanor. 600 10 $a Hogg, Phoebe. 600 10 $a Hogg, Tiggie. 650 0 $a Women serial murderers $z London $z London $x History. 650 0 $a Serial murders $z London $z London $x History. 650 0 $a Hampstead (London, England) $x History. 651 0 $a England $z London. 650 0 $a True crime stories. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hopton, Sarah Beth, author. $t Woman at the devil's door $b 1st Edition. $d Bloomington : Indiana University Press, [2018] $z 9780253034632 $w (DLC) 2018021183 941 $a 1 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012025313.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=94627608B42211E9B815892E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
