Synopsis

Altitude Publishing's highly successful "Amazing Stories Series" is now being exported to the UK and Europe with three very strong initial titles. Variously described by reviewers as "This is popular history as it should be", "The heightened sense of drama and intrigue, combined with a good dose of interest is what sets Amazing Stories apart" and "Stories are rich in description and bristle with a clever stylish realness", these books represent a proven formula with wide appeal. "Jack The Ripper: Murder, Mystery and Intrigue" - In the 1880's, the East End of London became the staging place for a series of bloodcurdling murders that caused outrage and widespread panic throughout the nation. Although many criminologists have speculated as to the identity of the killer, to this day the murderer is known only as Jack the Ripper. The tale of his four-month reign of terror is told in this gripping story. "Well-written and meticulously researched...an excellent alternative for readers who want to learn more but don't necessarily want to pick up a 300 plus page book".
