Synopsis

In this groundbreaking investigation into the unsolved Whitechapel Murders case of 1888, Tom Slemen uncovers a shocking possibility – that the Jack the Ripper murders were executed by a military-trained assassin hired by the British Intelligence Service. Revisiting the horrific evidence, intriguing testimonies and official documents from the time, this shocking exposé explores links between the notorious Ripper murders and the relationship each female victim had to an Irish terrorist alliance with the anarchist movement; links that reveal a frightening new possibility – that the most infamous murders ever committed can be traced to the office of the Prime Minister himself. Exhaustively researched, highly controversial in its conclusions, this compelling account has shattered all previous theories about Jack the Ripper and shed new light on the blackest operation of Victorian times.
"Sharply written, thoroughly readable, and totally fresh...without question an extremely significant addition to the shelf of worthwhile studies of the East End enigma." - Richard Whittington Egan, the world's foremost expert on Jack the Ripper.
