The Ripper murders were some of the most gruesome and baffling crimes ever committed, resulting in a desperate manhunt that was never to be solved. A plethora of books have sought to solve the identity of the Ripper, but John F Plimmer, using his 31 years of experience with the West Midlands Police, takes a unique look at the methodology and resources of 1888 and compares them with modern day police techniques. Taking the reader on a chilling tour of Victorian London, Plimmer investigates the world of the Ripper and asks whether, in today's world of DNA profiling and technology, one of the most elusive men in history would have been brought to justice.
