Synopsis
The authors of this book, both of whom work for Suffolk Police, present evidence which led them to the conclusion that Jack the Ripper was an American - a man well-known in his own country, and an habitue of both high society and the underworld - who fled from London when the Whitechapel murders ceased. A team of Scotland Yard officers failed to track him down in America, and the book considers whether the police "lost" files in order to cover up their incompetence in letting the suspect escape. The principal evidence on which the book is based is a collection of Special Branch letters offered to one of the co-authors by a second-hand bookseller.

Softcover / Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First edition. Paperback. SIGNED. Foreword by David Jessel. Jack the Ripper was an American, who escaped police custody. When he fled from London the Ripper killings ceased, but then started up again on the other side of the Atlantic. A team of officers from Scotland Yard failed to track him down in America. Did the police 'lose' files in order to cover-up their own incompetence in letting him escape? Startling new evidence uncovered by the authors, who both worked for Suffolk police at the time, lead them to these conclusions in this breakthrough book on the most notorious killer of all time. The man in question turned out to be a more infamous and extraordinary character than anyone could possibly have imagined, a man well known in his own country, at once flamboyant and secretive, an habitue of both high society and the underworld, a man driven by a obsessive hatred of women. Illus., Addendum I, Addendum II, Appendices, Sources, Select Bibliog. and Index. 293pp. softcover. With tipped-in label SIGNED BY STEWART EVANS. With the usual lightly browned pp., gift insc. to ffep o/w Vg. signed by author. Seller Inventory # 9986
