It was 1963 and London was starting to swing... The Beatles first LP was released, the Great Train Robbery took place and the public read scandalous details of the Profumo Affair involving spies, call girls and MPs. But a long shadow from Victorian times was falling over the city. Like his famous predecessor, Jack the Ripper, a savage serial killer was murdering prostitutes and dumping their naked bodies in public view. The first corpse was found by the River Thames and was followed by another. And another. Despite suspects, witness descriptions and forensic evidence, like the police in 1888, law enforcement were baffled as the body count piled high and public pressure grew. This book tells the incredible true story of the vicious crimes and the desperate hunt for the faceless serial killer known Jack the Stripper.
