The crimes of Jack the Ripper have haunted the imagination of the
world since his murderous reign drew to a close late in 1888. This
Casebook is an invaluable survey of the killer, his times and the
web of complex and contradictory theories that have sprung up in
his wake. Containing a fully illustrated 64-page book with 18
removable items that have have been painstakingly researched, the
Casebook allows the reader to become the detective, presenting all
the information, evidence and conclusions gathered since he killed
his last victim over a hundred years ago. The authentic documents
include: A police notice issued on 30 September 1888 asking for
information on the first three murders; Chief Inspector Swanson's
report on the murder of Elizabeth Stride; the 'Dear Boss' letter -
the first letter purporting to be from the Whitechapel murderer
using the name 'Jack the Ripper'; Sir Melville Macnaghten's report
identifying the three main suspects.
