About this product
Product Information
For a hundred and twenty years, the identity of the Whitechapel murderer known to us as Jack the Ripper has both eluded us and spawned a veritable industry of speculation. This book names him. Mad doctors, Russian lunatics, bungling midwives, railway policemen, failed barristers, weird artists, royal princes and white-eyed men. All of these and more have been put in the frame for the Whitechapel murders. Where ingenious invention and conspiracy theories have failed, common sense has floated out of the window. M.J. Trow, in this gripping historical reinvestigation, cuts through the fog of speculation, fantasy and obsession that has concealed the identity of the most famous serial murderer of all time. AUTHOR: M.J. Trow has written highly praised historical biographies as well as studies of true crime. He is also a very successful novelist. Among his recent publications are lives of Boudicca, Vlad the Impaler, Kit Marlowe, the hero of the Charge of the Light Brigade, Captain William Morris, and War Crimes: Underworld Britain in the Second World War and Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths in the Isle of Wight. He has produced several best-selling accounts of criminal cases, in particular volumes on Derek Bentley, the Wigwam murder and Jack the Ripper. But he is perhaps best known for his many novels which include the Lestrade and Maxwell series. SELLING POINTS: . Profiles a previously unknown suspect and provides a new motive for the killings . Uses behavioural psychology and 'murder mapping' . Destroys fanciful conspiracy theories and demolishes all other theories . Proves that the Ripper killed seven women, not five . Written as a historical whodunit ILLUSTRATIONS 20 *Product Identifiers
