The Thames Torso Murders of Victorian London (Paperback)

The Thames Torso Murders have been overshadowed by Jack the Ripper
and his crimes, but were just as brutal and gruesome. They began in
1887 in Londons East End, just north of the Thames River in
Rainham, England. The killer took one victim that year, another in
1888, and two more in 1889. He resumed his crimes in 1902, taking
his last victim south of the Thames and leaving her body in a pile
of dismembered parts as he had done with most of his other victims.
This work delves deep into the case of the Thames Torso Murders. It
begins with a look at London in the late 1800s, a time of great
confusion and tremendous population increase, and the killers path
to London, which seems to include a murder in Paris in 1886. The
book then examines in great detail each murder and the
investigation that may have been hindered by the search for Jack
the Ripper. It also raises the idea that Jack the Ripper and the
Torso Murderer may have been the same man--Severin Klosowski,
better known as George Chapman, the Borough Poisoner. It ends with
an examination of Serial Killers; the Ripper, Torso, and Borough
Poisoner murder cases; the search for clues to the serial killer
responsible for the five Thames Torso murders; and Wolff Levisohn,
a dark horse who seems to have known much about all three sets of
murders, testified at Chapmans murder trial, and then faded away as
Chapman was sent to the gallows.
