«La octava víctima» is the true-crime essay by P. D. James and T. A. Critchley, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (397 pages, in Spanish).
At the beginning of the 19th century, the murder of two merchant families shook London. The investigations, marked by haste and errors, ended with the death of an innocent man. The work reconstructs the case and argues that the official version left loose ends.
