About this Item

Paperback. Many books have been written about the identity of Jack the Ripper , the World s most infamous serial killer. One name is conspicuous by its absence, Sir Henry Wellcome, co-founder of the pharmaceutical company Borroughs Wellcome and Company, founder of the Wellcome Trust, Freemason and latter-day Pillar of the Establishment. The reason for this is unclear, as upon brief inspection of his life it is apparent that he should be included as one of the suspects for the series of shocking murders committed in the autumn of 1888. The author's aim in this book is to explain how he reached this conclusion, drawing a parallel between the upbringing and attributes of Sir Henry Wellcome and those of a serial killer. With Epilogue, Appendix and Bibliog. 202pp. p/back. I believe a POD publication. Vg+.

About this title

Synopsis

Many books have been written about the identity of ‘Jack the Ripper’, the World’s most infamous serial killer. One name is conspicuous by its absence, Sir Henry Wellcome, co-founder of the pharmaceutical company Borroughs Wellcome and Company, founder of the Wellcome Trust, Freemason and latter-day Pillar of the Establishment. The reason for this is unclear, as upon brief inspection of his life it is apparent that he should be included as one of the suspects for the series of shocking murders committed in the autumn of 1888. My aim in this book is to explain how I reached this conclusion, drawing a parallel between the upbringing and attributes of Sir Henry Wellcome and those of a serial killer.
