Casebook: Jack the Ripper (E-book)
Garry Wroe
Jack the Ripper... Person or Persons Unknown?
Casebook: Jack the Ripper (E-book), 2002

Casebook Review:

A very readable overview of the case that relies heavily on contemporary material, quoting much of it in full throughout the narrative. Wroe also covers modern serial murderers and methods of detection, particularly profiling, as well. Although he admits the case is far from solved, Wroe leans towards George Hutchinson as the most likely candidate. Jack the Ripper... Person or Persons Unknown? was first published as an E-book on this web site. It can be downloaded and read in its entirety by clicking this link. (Warning: The complete file may take up to several minutes to download.)
