I Was Jack the Ripper

By: Bray, Michael

On a freezing London night, writer Charles Hapgood opens his door to a man who should not exist.

The visitor calls himself Edward Miller. He is old, thin, sickly-and he says he is Jack the Ripper.

What begins as a simple request for memoir slowly becomes something far more sinister. As Miller speaks, Hapgood is dragged into the ruins of a childhood twisted by cruelty, shame, and rage. The killings in Whitechapel are only the beginning. Behind them lies an inner hatred that never truly died, a hunger that followed Miller across oceans, through marriage, fatherhood, and years of silence.

Hapgood wants the truth for his book. Miller wants his legacy preserved. But as the night deepens, the line between confession and threat begins to vanish-and Hapgood must decide whether he is writing a story, or falling into a trap.
