Description
Between August and November 1888, at least six women were murdered in London’s Whitechapel area. The gruesome nature of their deaths caused panic and fear in the East End for months, and gave rise to the sobriquet which was to become shorthand for a serial killer–Jack the Ripper. For more than a hundred years the murders have remained among the world’s greatest unsolved crimes, and a wealth of theories have been posited, which have pointed the finger at royaly, a barber, a doctor, a woman, and an artist. Using her formidable range of forensic and technical skills, bestselling author Patricia Cornwell has named the killer.
