Product Information

LONGLISTED FOR THE SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION A book like no other - the tale of a gripping quest to discover the identity of history's most notorious murderer and a literary high-wire act from the legendary writer and director of Withnail and I. For over a hundred years, 'the mystery of Jack the Ripper' has been a source of unparalleled fascination and horror, spawning an army of obsessive theorists, and endless volumes purporting finally to reveal the identity of the brutal murderer who terrorised Victorian England. But what if there was never really any 'mystery' at all? What if the Ripper was always hiding in plain sight, deliberately leaving a trail of clues to his identity for anyone who cared to look, while cynically mocking those who were supposedly attempting to bring him to justice? In THEY ALL LOVE JACK, the award-winning film director and screenwriter Bruce Robinson exposes the cover-up that enabled one of history's most notorious serial killers to remain at large. More than twelve years in the writing, this is much more than a radical reinterpretation of the Jack the Ripper legend, and an enthralling hunt for the killer. A literary high-wire act reminiscent of Tom Wolfe or Hunter S. Thompson, it is an expressionistic journey through the cesspools of late-Victorian society, a phantasmagoria of highly placed villains, hypocrites and institutionalised corruption. Polemic, forensic investigation, panoramic portrait of an age, underpinned by deep scholarship and delivered in Robinson's inimitably vivid and scabrous prose, THEY ALL LOVE JACK is an absolutely riveting and unique book, demolishing the theories of generations of self-appointed experts - the so-called 'Ripperologists' - to make clear, at last, who really did it; and more importantly, how he managed to get away with it for so long.

A rampage through Ripperolgy
I’m afraid that I do find this awful case fascinating. There seems to be, self evidently, something wrong with the police investigation. That has been clear for decades and I do think the book ‘Five’ is very important and must be read to counter balance any consideration of the crimes. That being said, and with all due respect to Mr Rumbelow, this is the most extraordinarily well researched insight that I have ever read. The exposure of police and, apparently, Masonic corruption is utterly compelling. The reassessment of the ‘Ripper’ letters astonishing and the exploration of the possibility that the murders continued extremely well argued. I love the anger and indignation in the telling, how the author is both clear headed and yet emotionally involved. I draw back a little from his suspect and almost wish the book rested on its exposure of misconduct. The suspect rests on circumstantial evidence and I am no more satisfied than many other suspects. Having said that, he makes a compelling case for the prosecution. Apart from all that, anyone who wrote and directed ‘Withnail and I’ deserves our grateful respect and admiration . This was an old story told in a vigorous new way.Read full review
