What type of person was Jack the Ripper? Why did he kill and mutilate six prostitutes in 1888? What was the motive for the crimes? Why was he never caught?
This book does not name Jack the Ripper, but instead offers a unique insight into the mind of the Ripper and illustrates the harshness of life for many people in the East End of London at that time. It explains how a young criminal from Spitalfields, became the most infamous serial killer of all time. It reveals how his early life may have developed and the circumstances that led him to commit six murders over three months. The Ripper was born into poverty, neglect and abuse, resulting in a life of crime. But something else made him into a serial killer of prostitutes.
This book is not for the faint-hearted nor for people that are easily offended by bad language, sex or sexual violence. Each of the six killings is described in explicit detail, to understand the type of person, Jack the Ripper, was.
This story explores the psychology and development of Jack the Ripper and is accurately based upon the crime scene evidence that is in the National Archives. It covers the key events chronologically from both the point of view of the Ripper and also of Detective Inspector Edmund Reid, who leads the investigation. Discover the reasons behind the chosen Modus Operandi and the signature of the killings.
The Ripper's story is partly told through his aunt, who is the strong, no-nonsense landlady of the Princess Alice public house. It demonstrates the likely personality of the Ripper through interactions with her and with other people. The motives for each of the Ripper's crimes are explained by Inspector Reid, some of which are different from other theories. The story shows why his crimes escalated, from earlier knife attacks to his first kill with Martha Tabrum. And why they ended with the grotesque mutilation of Mary Jane Kelly.
The other aspect of the story focusses on the police investigation, by contrasting two different investigative approaches to catching Jack the Ripper. Detective Inspector Reid tries to understand the crimes and the killer from a psychological perspective. Each killing is explained and analysed in detail by Inspector Reid, for him to build up a picture of the killer and his probable motives. Whereas, Detective Inspector Fred Abberline is relying on his local knowledge policing.
The story not only demonstrates the psychology and the personality of the Ripper through his crimes; it also demonstrates Reid's desire to understand the perpetrator of the crimes, to narrow down the likely suspect from the rest of the population of Spitalfields. This book clearly shows the psychological battle the killer has with his mind and the quest of Inspector Reid, in finding an unknown serial killer.
The book contains maps of the crime scenes, explanations of the local dialects and rhyming slang used in the story, a list of the key persons involved in each murder or attack and Inspector Reid's noticeboards that help him narrow down the suspect.
