The Complete Jack the Ripper: My Story: Virgin Books
Autor Donald Rumbelowen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2013
Few stories have fastened their claws so firmly into the public imagination as the Whitechapel murders of 1888. They were responsible for one of the most evocative legends in English folk history -- Jack the Ripper and one of the most grisly and enduring whodunits of all time.
Fully revised and updated the classic The Complete Jack the Ripper lays out all the evidence in the most comprehensive summary there has ever been of the facts, theories and nonsense that have been written about the Ripper. Donald Rumbelow, a former London Metropolitan policeman, and an authority on crime, has subjected every theory -- including those that have emerged in recent years -- to the same deep scrutiny.
Rumbelow also examines the mythology surrounding the case and provides some fascinating insights into the portrayal of the Ripper on stage and screen and on the printed page. More seriously, he also examines the horrifying parallel crimes of the Düsseldorf Ripper and the Yorkshire Ripper in an attempt to shed further light on the atrocities of Victorian London.
