Exactly who was Jack the Ripper, the infamous Victorian serial killer?

Every murder attributed to him is discussed in depth, together with additional cases that may have been his work; the book also details the myriad different suspects that have been mentioned over the years.

Jack the Ripper FAQ investigates the world in which the Ripper operated, with chapters discussing the factors that made it possible for him to act with such apparent impunity. The text also covers the policemen who tried to capture him, the journalists who attempted to illustrate his motives, and the private investigators who raised theories that are still being discussed today.
