Acclaimed by the critics as an "absolutely indispensable classic" on the Whitechapel murders of 1888, Jack the Ripper is a full, detailed reconstruction of those crimes and of the subsequent police investigation.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
For the last 100 years, criminologists and investigative journalists have scoured every conceivable document hoping to discover a missing piece of this murderous puzzle. Begg's well-detailed and footnoted account provides some new information and a few new photographs, but also leaves out established material. He provides only brief coverage of the Ripper letters that, although probably not written by the killer, are still interesting to read and a part of the case. Begg rounds up the usual suspects but does not claim to know the killer's exact identity. He does, however, state that the evidence strongly suggests a particular man. An extra plus is Begg's capsulization of Martin Fido's recent theory that Jack was a Polish tailor named David Cohen. Now that murder stories are best sellers, try circulating this with McGinniss and Wambaugh. Well done.
