520    In winter 1952, London automobiles and thousands of coal-
       burning hearths belched particulate matter into the air. 
       But the smog that descended on December 5th of 1952 was 
       different; it was a type that held the city hostage for 
       five long days. Mass transit ground to a halt, criminals 
       roamed the streets, and 12,000 people died. That same 
       month, there was another killer at large in London: John 
       Reginald Christie, who murdered at least six women. In a 
       braided narrative that draws on extensive interviews, 
       never-before-published material, and archival research, 
       Dawson captivatingly recounts the intersecting stories of 
       the these two killers and their longstanding impact on 
       modern history.
