The Whitechapel Horrors by Edward B. Hanna
A brisk, investigative account of the infamous Whitechapel murders that combines vivid descriptions of the victims and crime scenes with a chronicle of the bungled police inquiries, rampant public fear, and sensational press coverage; the book situates the killings within the grim social and economic realities of London’s East End, surveys the suspects and theories that sprang up around the figure known as Jack the Ripper, and critiques the institutions and circumstances that allowed the case to remain unresolved.
