THE JACK THE RIPPER A TO Z (SIGNED)

Paperback. Revised and Updated Edn. SIGNED. Foreword by Donald Rumbelow. 'Compiled in encyclopedic format by 3 of the world's leading experts on the subject, the 'A to Z' provides completely up-to-date, fresh and unbiased accounts of the many theories as to his identity. It also describes all the main suspects (including the hitherto unidentified police suspect, Michael Ostrog), giving details of the policemen, politicians and innocent bystanders caught up in the case. It provides a wealth of topographical detail and social background which put the crimes into their proper historical context - thereby helping to explain why they created such a sensation at the time and why they continue to exert such a fascination over a century later.'
