 Jack the Ripper: A Suspect Guide 
This text is from the E-book Jack the Ripper: A Suspect Guide by Christopher J. Morley (2005). Click here to return to the table of contents. The text is unedited, and any errors or omissions rest with the author. Our thanks go out to Christopher J. Morley for his permission to publish his E-book.

Peter J. Harpick

Author Jonathan Goodman, in the 1984 book Who He, put forward a previously unknown candidate for the Ripper in Peter J. Harpick. The suspect was taken seriously and Goodman received a number of letters asking for more information concerning Harpick. Goodman later revealed that he had in fact invented Peter J. Harpick, and that the suspects given name was in fact an anagram of Jack the Ripper.
