About this title

Synopsis

Uncover a chilling new suspect in the Jack the Ripper and Thames Torso Murders.

Between 1887 and 1891, London was gripped by a series of horrific murders. While some were attributed to Jack the Ripper, others were linked to the Thames Torso killer. Now, this groundbreaking work re-examines the evidence, connecting these gruesome crimes to a single, compelling suspect.

Follow Drew Gray and Andrew Wise as they delve into new lines of inquiry, revealing how one man possessed the means, motive, and opportunity to commit these heinous acts. Explore the social history of Victorian London, the lives of the victims, and the dark secrets that may have fueled a killer's rage. Discover long-sought solutions to the Goulston Street evidence, the Mad Doctor theory, and the Pinchin Street cross-over, as this book unmasks a new Ripper suspect.
