JACK THE RIPPER THE REAL STORY

Paperback. “Jack-the-Ripper” was the nickname attributed to an unknown serial sex murderer who killed five women in the East End of London in 1888. Vicious attacks believed to be undertaken by the Ripper involved prostitutes who plied their trade in the slums of the metropolis and whose throats were slit in advance of depraved sexual mutilations.

He creates a case against this person and gives us a multitude of previously unpublished evidence that will astound anyone who is under the impression that they have read everything on “Jack-the-Ripper”.
