Softcover. Jack the Ripper - a person known but unknown. A person of almost mythical stature who still haunts us today. Many authors have failed to explain the terrible motive behind his hideous murders. This is a chilling account on why the murders occurred and why they ceased so abruptly. It also reveals the identity of the man, known as Jack the Ripper, who, towards the end of the 19th century, held the entire district of Whitechapel, London, in a grip of unparalleled terror. A book which exposes the degenerate underbelly of Victorian England. Illus., Bibliog. and Index. 257pp. softcover. As New with no creasing to covers. Extremely Scarce.
