Hardback, SIGNED. Presenting 30yrs. of painstaking research into the real identity of the world's most infamous serial killer...and its cover-up by the authorities. Who was the convicted killer and escaped lunatic at large in London's East End during the Whitechapel Murders of 1888? How do his alias and profession link him to the notorious first letter from 'Jack the Ripper'? What was the 'Divine Plan' he referred to before he escaped from Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum in 1888? Why did the London Police fail to catch him - although they knew who he was - and how did he remain on the run for 40yrs.? Why are 'Prisoner 1167's' government files still classified almost 60yrs. after his death and sealed until 2030? What are the similarities between his murder of his wife in 1883 and the Ripper killings in 1888? Why was Broadmoor contacted about this man immediately after the most gruesome of the Ripper murders? Why does this man, the only suspect the Home Office mentioned by name, never appear in either case records or the press?
