Synopsis
Did Jack The Ripper flee London for the colony of New South Wales at the height of the world's most notorious serial-murder rampage ? Was the deadly attack on Alice McKenzie in 1889, his last thrown of the dice in pursuit of what was, not just a killing spree but a macabre, politically motivated publicity stunt ? Is it conceivable that a maniac took it upon himself to try and shut down immigration to England at a critical crossroads, just as Whitechapel was being thrust into the political spotlight ? Journalist Stephen Senise explores these questions and London's East End, and discovers that by February 1888 community tensions were so high that two select committees of investigation were dispatched to advise parliament on the social and industrial tensions tearing a community apart. Enter an opportunist hell-bent on broadcasting a hateful message... a madman, who would usher in the 'Autumn Of Terror'..
