During the infamous 1888 « autumn of terror », between August and November, five prostitutes were killed and atrociously mutilated in a crescendo of horror, fuelling dread among the population and many rumours in the press.

Patrick Van gerdinge, whose very thorough research is based on real life facts and authentic documents, is taking you on a fascinating journey into Victorian London. Follow him from the obscure alleyways and the smoky pubs of Whitechapel to the opulent mansions of Chelsea.
