Jack the Ripper | |||
| Letters from Hell | Miscellaneous | |||
| Stewart P Evans; Keith Skinner | ||||
| Sutto 2004 306 pages | ||||
| Paperback Illustrated 075093770X 263x195mm | ||||
| Published Price £12.99 | Sale Price £3.99 | |||
| The Whitechapel murders of 120 years ago provoked dozens of letters to the police and press claiming to have been written by Jack the Ripper. This book uses the original correspondence to shed fresh light on the misconceptions that dogged both the police and Fleet Street, as well as revealing insights into the Victorian psyche. The cases of three people arrested for sending Ripper letters are examined and the book concludes with the question: was Jack the Ripper merely a press invention? | ||||

| Profile 2005 298 pages | ||||

| Born in Edinburgh in 1752, and variously known as James Hill, James Boswell, James Hinde and John the Painter, James Aitken was a house painter by occupation, but seldom painted houses. He led a life of crime - petty robbery and rape - travelling all over England and to America; but in 1776, after becoming a supporter of the American Revolution, he set fire to the docks at Portsmouth and Bristol. Jessica Warner tells the story of 'the first modern terrorist', from childhood to his death, by hanging, in 1777. | ||||
