Publisher's Synopsis
Within the pages of this book are 365 individuals who have at one time or another come under suspicion of being Jack the Ripper. Many of the names in this book are only suspects in the very loosest of terms. Their involvement coming about by them having committed or attempting to commit a Ripper-style murder. Some by confessing to being Jack the Ripper while suffering from mental illness or while under the influence of alcohol. Others have been linked to Jack the Ripper by the press, police and by contemporary and recent theorists. Some have come under suspicion as a consequence of unusual behaviour towards family, friends and neighbours. Only a select few of these individuals can realistically be considered genuine and credible suspects. Many of the suspects have since been exonerated by history, but at one time or another proof or no proof they were suspected of being Jack the Ripper. All have been included in this book for the purpose of completion, however, improbable the suggestion. Making this the most comprehensive Jack the Ripper suspect book available.
