The complete and essential Jack the Ripper

Begg, Paul2013
Book
Discover the truth behind the myth in 'The Complete Jack the Ripper'. Whitechapel, 1888: a spate of brutal murders becomes the most notorious criminal episode in London's history. The killer, chillingly nicknamed 'The Whitechapel Murderer', 'Leather Apron' and, most famously, 'Jack the Ripper', is never brought to justice for the slaughter and mutilation of at least five women in the slums of East London. But the mystery is deepened by a letter sent 'From Hell' to Scotland Yard, accompanied by half of a preserved human kidney. This title explores the facts behind the most grisly episode of the Victorian era.
