A Handbook for Attendants on the Insane: the autobiography of 'Jack the Ripper' as revealed to Clanash Farjeon
Driven 'by more than a century of rising gall' to 'claim his due,' Lyttleton Stewart Forbes Winslow reveals his motive, his methods, a shocking blow-by-blow depiction of all eight murders and a troubled history that cuts to the heart of mankind's madness.
A frustrated and vainglorious man who devoted an entire chapter in his memoirs to his own investigation of the case, he once boasted to the press "I am as certain that I have the murderer as I am of being here" and claimed to have "singlehandedly chased Jack the Ripper from England." He was a suspect at the time yet no one since has taken him seriously.
This provocative novel, though its concerns transcend any attempt to prove a particular identity, paints a compelling portrait that may challenge the Ripperologists to reconsider.
Now available from Trafford Books.

I'm a little over 100 pages into this book and so far so good. Well written and a great concept. |
