While Jack the Ripper spread fear throughout the East End of London in 1888, another man stalked the streets hunting flesh. He called himself ' Walter'. He was a rapist, voyeur, & fetishist obsessed with prostitutes. Walter was not only a wealthy man, but a literary one. In the same year as the Ripper killings, Walter first printed up his vast memoir of sex & perversion under the title " My Secret Life". Fewer than 20 sets were struck off on a secret Amsterdam press between 1888 & 1894. Long banned for obscenity, only censored excerpts of Walter's masterwork were seen for a century.
