Synopsis:
Together we will observe Dr. H. H. Holmes exploits side-by-side with Jack the Rippers infamous killings. All fiction will be set aside. You will become a member of the jury. Decide for yourself; was Dr. H. H. Holmes discounted as a viable suspect in the most famous and mysterious case of all time... the case of the identity of Jack the Ripper?
American physician and skeleton articulator, Henry Howard Holmes, was a maniacal homicidal serial killer who met the hangman on May 7, 1896. In 1888, Jack the Ripper slaughtered women in a most diabolical manner in the Whitechapel district of London.
What does the evidence say about these two killers? Is it possible that investigators overlooked significant leads that would have led them to London's infamous Ripper? Has history been duped by an American con artist?
As a boy, Herman Webster Mudgett was fashioned and formed to become the evil and immoral Dr. H. H. Holmes. His crimes against humanity were unequalled; barring of course, the crimes the Ripper committed. Why did these two notorious killers commit crimes similar to one another? These and many other odd parallels between these cases are investigated.
From the Author: "I'd been waiting to read this book as it sounded so fascinating and after reading it ,it didn't disappoint me! It really is a good read. I'd always thought Francis Tumblety could of been the ripper, but after reading this book I've changed my mind. Holmes does fit the description from witness statements. He was also evil enough to be the ripper!? George Hutchinson statement says"he was very surprised to have seen her with such a well dressed man" Holmes certainly had the money to dress expensively!!! The American the police were searching for also could of been H H Holmes!? A very good book I can recommend to anyone fascinated in the Jack the ripper mystery!" - UK Reviewer
