Riassunto

Although the story of Jack the Ripper has been told many times, the crime scene locations and the killing ground in which he and his unfortunate victims would have been familiar with has been largely left unknown. This book is the literary equivalent of a walking tour around the sites which would have been frequented by those who lived in Whitechapel in 1888. Using the original police reports, never before seen images, maps and diagrams the book takes the reader deep inside Jack the Ripper’s London and presents the truth about what actually happened in the autumn of 1888 and what remains of Jack the Ripper's London today. The focus is on the ever changing face of London's East End, giving the reader a real sense of how the past meets the present in arguably London's most vibrant and cultural quarter… where the shadow of the Ripper is never too far away.
The book features never before seen images from the authors’ own collections and detailed crime scene reconstructions which have never been published before. This will be the perfect companion for anyone wanting to visit the East of London or those who wish get a sense of where everything happened in Jack the Ripper’s day.
