Synopsis

Four American women dead at the hands of a prime suspect in the Jack the Ripper case. The most notorious serial murderer in the annals of British crime may have actually set foot on American soil during the late nineteenth century. In 1891 and 1892, four women were brutally mutilated and killed in New York and New Jersey. Because they were murdered in the same general area and time frame, the circumstances point to the possibility that the women were all victims of the same killer. Severin Klosowski (aka George Chapman, the "Borough Poisoner"), a prime suspect in the Ripper case, was living in the area at the time. With Victorian-era New York as his backdrop, author R. Michael Gordon recounts the gruesome scenes, focusing on the details that strongly suggest Chapman and the Ripper were one and the same.
