The Escape of Jack the Ripper: The Full Truth About the Cover-up and His Flight from Justice - Rilegato
Sinossi
The identity of Jack the Ripper is the most infamous mystery of the Victorian era. Montague Druitt was the original police suspect, but we have never had the full story before, and endless speculation in later books and documentaries: But it was him, after all: The toff in a top hat. Jack the Oxonian. The Victorian equivalent of Ted Bundy: young, handsome, professional, and homicidal. Today, the average member of the public has actually never heard of the drowned Druitt; this century he has not been the subject of either a bestseller or movie. The fresh material and sources in the new book are not found in any other publication, including the following USPs:
- Druitt was a medical student who dropped out.
- As a barrister, Druitt defended a murderer and tried to blame a prostitute for the crime.
- A blood-stained Druitt was arrested in Whitechapel but bluffed his way to freedom by pretending he was still studying medicine.
- Druitt was placed by his family, albeit briefly, in a private, French asylum but had to flee as the police's dragnet closed.
- The Vicar who published parts of the truth in 1899 has been finally identified (Reverend Arthur Du Boulay Hill)
- The famous writer and police chief Melville Macnaghten's close pal, George Sims, published a profile of the un-named Druitt as early as 1891: a young toff, slightly built but athletic, who was not a qualified doctor and who had killed himself. This newly discovered source proves, once and for all, that the police chief and the famous writer knew exactly who Montie Druitt was and was not.
- The Druitt family tried, fumblingly, to alert the authorities that The Ripper was deceased while remaining anonymous.

The Escape of Jack the Ripper

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Hardback. Condizione: New. For nearly 100 years, the question has repeatedly been asked: who was 'Jack the Ripper'? The real question that should be answered, however, is why? Why were five poor, defenceless women savagely murdered in the slums of Whitechapel in the autumn of 1888?Credible Victorian sources including an Old Etonian police chief (Sir Melville Macnaghten), a famous writer on true crime (George R. Sims), a Conservative MP (Henry Farquharson) and, most incriminatingly, members of the killer's own family knew that 'Jack the Ripper' was Montague John Druitt. He escaped earthly justice by drowning himself in the Thames. This book answers the question of why in 1888 Druitt, a barrister, part-time teacher and first-class cricketer, killed and mutilated women driven into prostitution through social neglect.Compiled from years of meticulous research, The Escape of Jack the Ripper moves from the suffering of impoverished Whitechapel to genteel London society, picturesque Dorset, the Inner Temple and the anonymity of the private asylums of France and England. The struggle of Druitt's desperate, respectable family to cover up for their dead Montie, whilst preventing any innocent person being hanged for his crimes, is told here. In the Edwardian era, Sir Melville and G. R. Sims ensured that the public understood that the long-deceased Whitechapel fiend was neither poor nor an immigrant, but rather a product of the British establishment.The photographs include the newly discovered last known image of Druitt.
