Synopsis

This work is a definitive account of the Ripper murders of 1888. The author's research has uncovered a wealth of new data, including what is apparently a sighting of the murderous assault bearing his hallmarks. The contemporary suspects are scrutinized and the fullest details made available on several little-known candidates such as Puckridge, the altogether forgotten Benelius and Ostrog. The book offers a rebuttal of the so-called Maybrick diary, and after the most detailed discussion on all aspects of the crimes, the author, having challenged the drift of Ripper studies since 1959, makes his own more plausible revelation and establishes the American connection.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Adding more new material for his Complete History of Jack the Ripper, crime writer and historian Philip Sugden already has painstakingly uncovered much new and hitherto neglected material, including a new Ripper sighting, a possible earlier assault, and a potential American connection. As noted Ripperologist Dan Farson observes, "This is indeed the ‘definitive account'," for armchair sleuths of the White Chapel Horrors and all true crime aficionados. "A meticulous and reasoned profile for readers and future detectives."—Kirkus Reviews "The charm of well written history about a character of almost mythical standing."—Daily Telegraph (London)
