9781854874160: The Complete History of Jack the Ripper

Synopsis

This account of the Ripper murders of 1888, uncovers much new data, including what is appparently a sighting of the murderer and a murderous assault bearing all his hallmarks. This list of suspects is reassessed, with new material and full details on litle-known candidates. The three suspects named in 1894 are exonerated, and there is a complete rebuttal of the so-called "Maybrick Diary". Philip Sugden's studies challenge the whole drift of Ripper studies since 1959, and raise the possibility of an American connection in the case.

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)
