Book Description
Jack the Ripper was the name given to an unidentified serial killer who murdered five women in and around the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. Attacks ascribed to the Ripper typically involved female prostitutes who worked in the slums of London and whose throats were cut prior to abdominal mutilations. The removal of internal organs from at least three of the victims led to the suspicion that their killer possessed surgical knowledge. Author Melvin Harris spent years of research examining and discarding many fake documents and falsified testimonies in his quest for the true Ripper. He had to unravel the many dubious theories which have led to wrong identifications including unfounded speculation that a member of the Royal family could have been the Ripper. He believed that the evidence, meticulously documented in this book, leads to one man who was interviewed by the police at the time of the murders and had inside information on all of them. Using FBI techniques for identifying serial killers, he built a totally convincing case against the suspect and presented a mass of unpublished evidence that will amaze those familiar with the case.

Book Description
Two Ripper experts examine unsolved murders—from Great Britain and around the world—that occurred during the era of the notorious killer. The number of women murdered and mutilated by Jack the Ripper is impossible to know, although most researchers now agree on five individuals. These five canonical cases have been examined at length in Ripper literature, but other contemporary murders and attacks bearing strong resemblance to the gruesome Ripper slayings have received scant attention. These unsolved cases are the focus of this intriguing book. The volume looks at a dozen female victims who were attacked during the years of Jack the Ripper’s murder spree. Their terrible stories—a few survived to bear witness, but most died of their wounds—illuminate key aspects of the Ripper case and the period: the gangs of London’s Whitechapel district, Victorian prostitutes, the public panic inspired by the crimes and fueled by journalists, medical practices of the day, police procedures and competency, and the probable existence of other serial killers. The book also considers crimes initially attributed to Jack the Ripper in other parts of Britain and the world, notably New York, Jamaica, and Nicaragua. In a final chapter, the drive to identify the Ripper is examined, looking at suspects as well as several important theories, revealing the lengths to which some have gone to claim success in identifying Jack the Ripper. “When it comes to the meticulous details of a murder, the minute-by-minute examination of a crime and its policing, Messrs. Begg and Bennett are the very best in the true-crime genre.”—Judith Flanders, Wall Street Journal

Book Description
For over a hundred years, the mystery of Jack the Ripper has been a source of unparalleled fascination and horror, spawning an army of obsessive theorists and endless volumes purporting to finally reveal the identity of the brutal murderer who terrorized Victorian England. But what if there was never really any mystery at all? What if the Ripper was always hiding in plain sight, deliberately leaving a trail of clues to his identity for anyone who cared to look, while cynically mocking those who were supposedly attempting to bring him to justice? In They All Love Jack, the award-winning film director and screenwriter Bruce Robinson exposes the cover-up that enabled one of history's most notorious serial killers to remain at large. More than twelve years in the writing, this is no mere radical reinterpretation of the Jack the Ripper legend and an enthralling hunt for the killer. A literary high-wire act reminiscent of Tom Wolfe or Hunter S. Thompson, it is an expressionistic journey through the cesspools of late-Victorian society, a phantasmagoria of highly placed villains, hypocrites, and institutionalized corruption. Polemic forensic investigation and panoramic portrait of an age, underpinned by deep scholarship and delivered in Robinson's inimitably vivid and scabrous prose, They All Love Jack is an absolutely riveting and unique book, demolishing the theories of generations of self-appointed experts—the so-called Ripperologists—to make clear, at last, who really did it; and, more important, how he managed to get away with it for so long.

Book Description
My aim in writing this book is to expose for the very first time a completely new and compelling theory that reveals the true identity of Jack the Ripper.In 1888, a series of murders occurred in London's East End. The first definite victim of the killer who became known as Jack the Ripper was Mary Nichols, who was murdered on 31st August 1888. She is the first of what are often referred to as the five "canonical" victims, all of whom were murdered between August 31st and November 9th 1888; a period of just 10 weeks.The canonical five victims were Mary Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Kelly, all of whom are believed to have been murdered by the man now known throughout the world as Jack the Ripper.It has been 129 years since these murders took place and no one has ever been charged with committing any of them. This was a multiple murder case that gripped the nation, a veritable "whodunit" which baffled every policeman in the country. With an abundance of suspects, from royalty to artists to local trades-men and countless arrests no one until now has ever been able to name the person who, without a doubt was Jack the Ripper.These were no ordinary murders, they were macabre, like the Devil himself had committed them. What kind of man would do such things - cutting a woman open and pulling her intestines out and spreading them over her body in the street in full view of any passer by?People have been asking that question for 129 years - "What kind of man?" Was he like the Devil - a monster with an evil face who swept through the streets of Whitechapel in a top hat and flowing cloak, carrying a doctor's bag containing the tools of his trade?If he had been this visible I can assure you that he would have been captured much earlier into his career and it might have even saved the lives of some of his victims.Jack the Ripper did wear a cloak, but not as we know it, it was like a cloak of invisibility, which protected him from the men and women on the streets from fearing him, for who is frightened of the 'ordinary' man, the man next door in his overcoat and bowler hat, the man we all know and trust?In this book the real murderer is revealed for the first time exclusively in this captivating study of a multiple murder case that took place in the nineteenth century; evidence and facts never revealed before.

Book Description
"Roland provides a well-balanced overview ... extensively illustrated and with timely coverage of some of the latest theories and research." -Stephen P. Ryder, Editor, Casebook: Jack the Ripper More than a century after he stalked the streets of London's East End, Jack the Ripper continues to exert a macabre fascination on the popular imagination. After scrupulously re-examining official documents of the time, investigative journalist Paul Roland strips away decades of myth and misconceptions to reveal the identity of a brand-new suspect who has never been seriously considered until now. If you are expecting a finger to be pointed at one of the usual suspects, be prepared to have your assumptions turned on their head. If these crimes were being investigated today, what would the authorities consider to be the vital clues? How would their profilers describe England's first serial killer and who would they be looking to convict? As Roland makes clear in this book, nothing about the Whitechapel murders can be taken at face value.
