WILL THE REAL JACK THE RIPPER

Softcover. The author takes each episodic element of the case, in this instance the brutal slaying and mutilation of 5 prostitutes in London's East End, in the autumn of 1888 - and presents it starkly and factually in the 'present time'. Each episode is followed by an analysis of the subsequent investigation and the horrific unfolding of events, and in such a way that old theories are re-examined and new ones scrutinised. Illus. Map sections and composite map. Bibliog. 72pp. softcover. From the library of Paul Daniel, ex-editor of the 'Ripperologist' magazine (December 1996 No. 8 - February 2000 No. 27) with his name rubber stamp, and date in green felt tip to inside back cover, and includes a tipped-in review Paul wrote for 'Ripperologist' magazine singing the book's praises. Lightly browned pp. and sunned sp. o/w Vg+ with no creasing to covers.
