Jillian (Australia) (2007/11/08): From the back cover: "THE SOLUTION AT LAST TO THE MOST FAMOUS CRIME STORY OF ALL The person identified in this book as the killer of five women in London's East End in 1888 has never before been named a suspect in more than a hundred years of intense speculation. A very eminent man in his field, naming him will cause huge shockwaves in the places where he is still venerated. One of the authors is a direct descendant of the killer. He did not set out to find Jack the Ripper, but the evidence discovered while researching his illustrious ancestor is incontrovertible. Together the authors prove that their suspect was in Whitechapel at the same time as the crimes were committed, and had the knowledge and the skills which the nature of the murders required. Evidence has also been found linking the suspect to the victims. This revelatory investigative work provides a consistent and plausible explanation for every aspect of the case, meeting all the key criteria of motive, method and opportunity. Finally, the legend and myths surrounding the identity of Jack the Ripper have been brought to an end."
