JACK THE RIPPER AND THE WHITECHAPEL MURDERS : The Crimes and Victims Attributed to History’s Most Notorious Serial Killer

Softcover. I believe this is a POD publication. The Jack the Ripper case continues to fascinate historians and amateur sleuths so much that people have dubbed themselves Ripperologists, and since nobody knows for sure who the killer was, every aspect of the crimes is up for discussion, down to who the actual victims of the Ripper were and whether there was actually more than one Ripper. In addition to considering so many suspects, the police were only certain that 5 of the victims (the “canonical five”) were killed by Jack the Ripper, but there were at least 11 documented murders over the course of several years, and today those are called the Whitechapel murders. This book chronicles the crimes of the infamous serial killer and the speculation surrounding which of the crimes he committed. Illus. + Bibliog. Unpaginated (56pp.). trade size softcover. With small indentation to back cover o/w Nr. F. with no creases.
