'Whilst uncovering much new evidence, the author exposes the elaborate game of charade played by the so-called Ripperologists for 100 years. Hard evidence is presented which ridicules the notion that high-ranking Freemasons carried out the murders at the behest of prime ministers and princes, proves that one of the victims was not a victim at all, that other murders carried out in Whitechapel later than 1888 were indeed the work of the one man, and dispels the widely held belief that the crimes of Jack the Ripper were of a sexual nature. By comparison with astonishingly similar modern cases, the true nature of the crimes and their perpetrator is demonstrated. But does he find Jack the Ripper?
