Summary:
This recently discovered memoir appears to have been written in the 1920s by someone who asserts that he was
infamous
killer
,
Jack
the
Ripper
. This person is James Willoughby Carnac, and this memoir is an account of his entire life, including a few short months in 1888 when he became the murderer known to posterity as
Jack
the
Ripper
. This book introduces a new suspect for the
infamous
murders in Whitechapel in 1888, and contains information that does not appear to be derived from contemporary newspapers or any other publications. Descriptions of Tottenham in the 1870s, the visits to performances of Jekyll and Hyde, and the intricate geography of Whitechapel in 1888 are written with pin-point accuracy. Ultimately it is up to the reader to decide if they believe the mystery has been solved at last, but whichever side they may decide to believe, there is no question that this book will be a source of much debate for years to come.
