Hardcover / Hardback. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. First edition. Hardback. SIGNED. 'The number of women murdered and mutilated by Jack the Ripper is impossible to know, although most researchers now agree on five individuals. These five canonical cases have been examined at length in Ripper literature, but other contemporary murders and attacks bearing strong resemblance to the gruesome Ripper slayings have received scant attention. These unsolved cases are the focus of this intriguing book. Separate chapters cover over a dozen female victims who were attacked during the years of Jack the Ripper's murder spree. Their terrible stories - a few survived to bear witness, but most died of their wounds - illuminate key aspects of the Ripper case and the period: the gangs of London's Whitechapel district, Victorian prostitutes, the public panic inspired by the crimes and fuelled by journalists, medical practices of the day, police procedures and competency, and the probable existence of other serial killers. The book also considers crimes initially attributed to Jack the Ripper in other parts of Britain and the wider world, notably New York and Jamaica. Examining several influential Ripper theories, Paul Begg and John Bennett piece together how the unfortunate victims have been assessed and reassessed over the years, showing the crucial part played by their lives and deaths in how wider society has perceived the crimes of Jack the Ripper.'

Hardback. Condición: Good. Polish your pince-nez, fold your broadsheet, and proceed briskly into the only London fog that never lifts: mystery . Jack the Ripper (2017) by Paul Begg & John Bennett ?published by SevenOaks ?is the sensibly lit reading room where speculation checks its hat, myth takes a numbered ticket, and the archivist smiles as if to say, ?We have receipts.? Begg and Bennett are the rare guides who can both charm the legend and cross-examine it; they?ve walked the streets, counted the sources, and taught the headlines to use inside voices. This isn?t a séance. It?s an audit with maps. The authors unspool 1888 with timelines that behave , documents that don?t flinch , and context that refuses melodrama . Whitechapel becomes legible: alleys resolve into addresses; ?the night? splits into hours; witnesses step forward, wobble, and are filed accordingly. The police do their best under Victorian lighting; the press does its best under Victorian deadlines; the reader emerges with that most subversive souvenir?clarity. Inside, expect: The canonical cases, de-tangled : what?s known, what?s guessed, and what was invented in a hurry by someone who adored adjectives. Suspects sorted like a responsible pantry : plausible, interesting-but-fragile, and ?kindly return to fiction.? Policing then vs. now : beats and lanterns, registries and red tape; what CSI could add, and what it still couldn?t promise. Geography that talks back : distances timed, routes weighed, and the way streets make alibis sweat. Victorian media literacy : how a scoop becomes scripture and why a correction never sells as many papers. Afterlives : tourism, theories, and the cottage industry of certainty?gently deflated with primary sources. Begg & Bennett?s tone is the secret weapon: civil, empirical, faintly amused ?the literary equivalent of a steady hand at the lamp. They don?t crown culprits; they calibrate probabilities . They treat victims as people, evidence as evidence, and the reader as a grown-up capable of withstanding the absence of a drumroll. If you?ve ever wished a Ripper book came with a built-in sceptic and a very accurate watch, congratulations: this one ticks. Why this copy? It steps out of the admirably frank emporium Crappy Old Books in Condition: Good ?translation: square spine, clean pages, mild shelf-patina . A proper working volume: tidy enough for the coffee table, sturdy enough for repeated flipping between the chronology and the map spread while you mutter, ?ah.? Vital stats for the evidence shelf: Title: Jack the Ripper Authors: Paul Begg & John Bennett Publisher: SevenOaks , 2017 ISBN: 9781781776445 Condition: Good (legible, dependable, scandal-resistant) Vendor: Crappy Old Books ?the name confesses; the stock corroborates. Buy it for the order ; keep it for the temperament . After a few chapters, you?ll find yourself grading theories by document weight, timing walks between corners, and smiling politely at any revelation that arrives wearing a cape. The fog remains atmospheric; the facts, refreshingly not.…
