| Publisher Description: JACK THE RIPPER: Historical Crime StoriesLondon, 1888. A mysterious figure is haunting the backstreets of London. In time, his crimes would become something of legend, but for now, he is simply an unknown perpetrator waiting in the dark for his opportunity to pounce. His victims never suspected such a monster could be real. His penchant for violence and incredible bloodlust is like something England has never seen before. The man would come to be known as Jack the Ripper; the most enigmatic serial killer the world has ever known. Jack the Ripper's crimes occurred 130 years ago as of the time writing, yet the fact he is still stands firmly at the forefront of the collective conscious is a testament to his crimes, his mystery and his legacy. The modern archetypal image of an elusive serial killer has been modelled on what we believe Jack the Ripper to be; a distinguished Victorian gentleman whose motivations are kept sheathed until the ideal moment. He withdraws his blade to take an unsuspecting victim's life in the blink of an eye, and leaves them a blood-stained mess before dispersing from sight. In this Historical Crime Book, discover the mystery and intrigue of the evil 'Jack' murders. While his identity remains a mystery, the memory of these shocking crimes is all too real. |
