A propos de cet article

Hardback, 1st edn. This book features an illustrated chapter (pp.27-49 incl.)on Jack the Ripper entitled 'Catch Me When You Can. The Jack the Ripper Killings - Whitechapel 1888'. The killings attributed to Jack the Ripper are the most famous unsolved Victorian murders, but few people know the extent of the doubts surrounding the case. Was there more than one killer stalking the streets slitting throats? Was the killer male or female? Even the most basic facts were never clearly established. Over the years many suspects have been suggested but will we ever know which was the real Jack the Ripper? Is the diary of James Maybrick, a Ripper suspect, a real confession or a modern hoax? Make up your own mind after reading the author's detailed survey of the material. In this fresh look at 12 unsolved murder cases, the author reviews the stories, evidence and trials to shed new light on the verdicts passed by the judges and juries of the 19th century. Other cases include : Madeleine Smith, Edmund Pook, Herbert Bennett, Adelaide Bartlett, Charles Bravo, William Kirwan, Alfred John Monson, Christina Gilmour, William Lyddon, Thomas Farrant etc. Illus., Bibliog. and Index. 208pp. lge. 8vo. h/back. From the library of Paul Daniel, ex-editor of the 'Ripperologist' magazine (December 1996 No. 8 - February 2000 No. 27) with his name rubber stamp, and date in green felt-tip to bep. F. in F. protected dw. Please note, the 'rippling' effect shown in the fr. cover image is from the protective covering and not the dw. A fairly heavy book which may require additional postage if shipped overseas.

Présentation de l'éditeur

In this fresh look at 12 unsolved murder cases, Jon Sutherland reviews the stories, evidence and trials to shed new light on the verdicts passed by the judges and juries of the 19th century. Read the stories, examine the evidence and decide for yourself. The killings attributed to Jack the Ripper in Whitechapel are the most famous unsolved Victorian murders, but few people know the extent of the doubts surrounding the case. Make up your own mind after reading Jon Sutherland’s detailed survey of the material. In Unsolved Victorian Murders Jack the Ripper appears alongside less well-known but equally fascinating characters. Did Madeleine Smith poison her lover with arsenic in a cup of cocoa? How did a blind man in Bristol throw his younger, fitter rival through a narrow window? What really happened in the woods of the Ardlamont estate in Scotland the morning Cecil Hambrough was shot?
