Jack the Ripper

In 1888, the dreaded figure of Jack the Ripper stalked London's East End murdering prostitutes. His crimes set
in motion a huge police operation and have held a dark fascination over the public's imagination for over a century, yet his identity has never been proved.
Now, for the first time, two leading Ripper experts have joined forces to treat the case like a police investigation.
Drawing on their unparalleled knowledge of the Jack the Ripper murders and their professional experience as
police officers, they uncover clues that have remained undetected for over a hundred years. There are five 'canonical' Ripper victims, yet Scotland Yard's 'Whitechapel Murders' files include another six suspected victims.
Drawing the reader into the world of police investigation in Victorian London, Evans and Rumbelow reveal the conflict between the City and Metropolitan forces and the ridicule heaped on the police by the press. Investigating each murder, they conclude that only four of the eleven victims were actually killed by the Ripper.
