Diary Of Jack The Ripper

The Diary of Jack the Ripper is the bloodcurdling confession of an horrific killer which has thrown criminologists into uproar. This book unfolds a terrible Victorian tale of jealousy, depravity and love. It is the story of the horrific acts of a drug-taking, womanising, 49-year-old Liverpool cotton merchant, James Maybrick, and of his 26-year-old American wife, Florence, wrongly convicted of her husband's murder. This new, up-to-date edition includes the latest discoveries about the origins of the diary and the scientific analysis that makes the case for Maybrick's guilt.
