Jack the ripper - Mark Whitehead, Miriam Rivett

More than a century passed since the Whitechapel Murders of 1888, when an unknown killer butchered East End prostitutes under the very noses of the police; yet we seem no closer to uncovering the Ripper's identity. Was he a demented Royal, a Masonic assassin, a sexually-frustrated artist, a member of the Czarist secret police, a crazed reformist or even an escaped gorilla? This book summarises Jack's crimes, his victims and the ill-fated police investigation, and considers the Ripper's many proposed identities, bringing us up to date with the latest theories and developments. źródło okładki: www.pocketessentials.com
