About this title

Synopsis

No-one in the annals of crime is capable of arousing such passionate debate as the perpetrator of the Whitechapel Murders in 1888. Was he a demented Royal, a Masonic assassin, a sexually-frustrated artist, a member of the Czarist secret police, a crazed reformist or even an escaped gorilla? This revised and updated edition contains a summary of Jack's crimes, victims and the illfated police investigation. It considers many of the Ripper's proposed identities, bringing you up to date with the latest suspects.
