In Whitechapel in 1888 at least five women were horribly murdered & mutilated. Their killer quickly became known as Jack the Ripper. Though there were many suspects, no one was ever caught, & over a hundred years later the world is still fascinated by the mystery. This book introduces a new suspect. It is a recently discovered memoir written in the 1920s by James Willoughby Carnac, a man who claims to have been Jack the Ripper. It covers his life from childhood to death, including his account of those terrible few months in 1888. There is information in this account that does not appear to be derived from contemporary newspapers or other publications, & the events of the time & the intricate geography of Whitechapel in 1888 are described with pinpoint accuracy. James gives a credible motive for becoming the murderer Jack, as well as for ending the murders. These all point to this account being genuine. This is a fascinating & intriguing piece of writing. Ultimately it is for you, the reader, to decide whether you believe the mystery has been solved at last, or whether this is one of the very earliest imaginings of the Ripper case. If so, as it was written in the 1920s, it is a fascinating piece of period writing & a worthy addition to the Ripper canon. We believe it is more than that. We believe you are about to read the words of Jack the Ripper himself. The size of this book is 23.4cm in height & 15.6cm wide with 297 pages ...
