Dismembered corpses are discovered scattered along the banks of the
river Thames, a calculating clinical multiple murderer is on the
loose, and the London police have no inkling of the killers
identity and, more than a century later, they still don't. In this,
M.J. Trows latest re-investigation of a bizarre and brutal serial
killing, he delves deep into the appalling facts of the case, into
the futile police investigations, and into the dark history of late
Victorian London. The incredible criminal career of the Thames
torso murderer has gripped readers and historians ever since he
committed his crimes in the 1870's and 1880's. The case poses as
many questions as the even more notorious killings of Jack the
Ripper. How, over a period of fifteen years, did the Thames
murderer get away with a succession of monstrous and sensational
misdeeds? And what sort of perverted character was he, why did he
take such risks, why did he kill again and again?
