Summary:
"From bestselling author Patricia Cornwell, an update to her 2002 book Portrait of a Killer : Jack the Ripper case closed. A comprehensive and intriguing exposé of one of the world’s most chilling cases of serial murder - and the police force that failed to solve it. Vain and charismatic
Walter
Sickert
made a name for himself as a painter in Victorian London. But the ghoulish nature of his art, as well as extensive evidence, points to another name, one that's left its bloody mark on the pages of history: Jack the Ripper. Cornwell has collected never-before-seen archival material - including a rare mortuary photo, personal correspondence and a will with a mysterious autopsy clause - and applied cutting-edge forensic science to open an old crime to new scrutiny. Incorporating material from Portrait of a Killer, this new edition has been revised and expanded to include eight new chapters, detailed maps and hundreds of images that bring the sinister case to life. Note: This book contains images that some readers may find disturbing. Patricia Cornwell sold her first forensic thriller, Postmortem, while working as a computer analyst at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond, Virginia. Since then, she's authored twenty-nine bestsellers."--Provided by publisher.
