THE PRIVATE LIFE OF JACK THE RIPPER A Novel

Hardback. From the Steve Haste (author of 'Criminal Sentences') Crime Faction Collection, with his personal b/plate : 'This novel is based on the Jack the Ripper murders (GB) 1888.' A witty, shrewd novel, more than a medical mystery, it is a "...masterly evocation of the sex and violence, the life of the very poor, the rich and the royal, and the practice of medicine in 'the three eights' as everyone called 1888". The author is convinced he got his man. 279pp. 8vo. h/back. Nr. F. in Vg+ dw.
