Horrific, horrendous, unspeakable, The Whitechapel Murderer, Jack
the Ripper, stalked the streets of East London in 1888,
slaughtering prostitutes and bewildering the police who were
hunting him. They never succeeded in apprehending him, and to this
day the mystery of his identity remains an enigma. But he did leave
clues to his identity, and numerous theories have been entertained
throughout the one hundred and twenty years since he held London's
East End in his grip of terror. This book looks at the evidence
left by the murderer and the reports and investigative papers which
recorded the atrocities that the Ripper performed. It takes time to
analyse the existing information and evaluate the letters sent to
the police. It is the strongest and most powerful book ever written
on the murders. It dispels a lot of myths attached to the Ripper,
and eliminates a lot of the previously conjectured perpetrators,
leaving only those who realistically could have been...Jack the
Ripper.
