TIMELINE OF JACK THE RIPPER

Softcover. A chronology of the events surrounding the crimes of Jack the Ripper in London's Whitechapel in the late 19th century. Jack the Ripper is considered by many crime historians as the most seminal, psychotic killer of the modern era and the grandfather of all serial murderers. The most tantalising murder mystery of all- who was the knife-wielding serial prostitute killer? Communication between the killer and the police is disputed by experts as either genuine or faked by media to increase newspaper sales. The murderer was never caught and the suspects named were never convicted. This book follows each of the major events surrounding the five canonical crimes of Whitechapel during the late 1880’s and early 1890’s, and chronologises nearly every crime, murder, letter and discovery made during those times. Illus. in colour and b/w. With Table of Contents. 45pp. 4to. softcover. F. with no creasing to covers.
