Book Description
TRYING TO PROVE that a historical figure was not Jack The Ripper was the beginning of 15 years of research. At each turn, whether it be motive, opportunity, psychological profile, etc., I could not remove him from suspicion. What I found only kept pointing more and more toward he could have done it. It was painful not be able to cross him off my list. As we have learned mass-murderers come in various shapes and sizes. Theodore Robert Bundy by all appearances was a well groomed, well-mannered model of young manhood and yet underneath that facade lurked the cold heart of a killing machine. My suspect does not fit that mold on the outside but was thought to possess a spiritual soul and kind heart. Could he have also hidden a dark side? A dark and hideous side that could also patiently wait? Wait to grow strong and lash out at the progenitors of his deep and repressed hatred? Who of us can be sure we can spot a true monster?

Book Description
A heinous and blood-thirsted killer is on the loose in New York City and targeting a certain demographic of men. At end, he will claim the lives of seven men, six of whose very killings directly mimic those of Jack the Ripper of Whitechapel, London fame. The “types” of slayings, the manner of death, and even the very “initials” of each victim's name all closely mirror those found slain at the hands of Red Jack in 1888. So, who is behind the slashings, and why are they even occurring? The city’s best Major Crimes Unit is already on the case, along with a Medical Examiner and an embedded reporter, now all in a race against time to find out the very who and the why behind the bizarre series of crimes. Can the investigative team crack the case before more victims fall to the Ripper's blade? Dark and deliciously evil, with villainy run amok, the novel is a bloody nail-biter that doesn’t let up and doesn’t let go; the ultimate in whodunits that will have you shrieking but coming back for more! Better fasten your seatbelts and don your sleuthing hats, then prepare for a roller-coaster drop and the most harrowing ride of your life: “DEAR BOSS: The Hunt for the New York Ripper”.

Book Description
The story of the unidentified serial killer in London’s Whitechapel district - known as Jack The Ripper – has been the subject of interest to researchers for over 120 years. The name ascribed to the individual was from a letter sent to the Central News Agency in London on 27 September 1888. Initially thought to be a hoax, the letter gained much publicity when the writer’s promise of clipping a lady’s ears off manifested after the discovery of the body of Catherine Eddowes with an ear lobe severed, 3 days after the letter was received. Several letters followed this and borrowed elements from the earlier correspondences. Jack the Writer: A Verbal & Visual Analysis of the Ripper Correspondence is a different approach to the subject of ‘Ripperology’. In this book, the author, Dirk Gibson, provides a quantitative content analysis of the letters. Gibson first grounds this study of the Jack the Ripper letters in an analysis of the legitimacy of the documents. The dialectic method is used to carefully consider the authenticity of these letters. The largest extant collection of Jack the Ripper letters is provided in this book, approximately 250 in number. The most significant part of this book is a trio of content analyses quantifying the themes, subjects, people and linguistic mannerisms mentioned in the Ripper letters; the analyses describe precisely what was and was not in these missives. The letters are described and presented in the context of their content, with the valid letters presented in chronological order. Jack the Writer: A Verbal & Visual Analysis of the Ripper Correspondence will give readers, whether generally interested in the ripper correspondence or undertaking courses in criminology or abnormal psychology, a glimpse of the cultural context of a serial murderer’s communication with the public and the press in Victorian times.

Book Description
The gruesome, unsolved murders by the first media-sensationalized serial killer, Jack the Ripper, continue to fascinate after more than 100 years. However, from the beginning the truth has been obscured by a fog of half-truths and misinterpretations. This book aims to clear up the misinformation and myths surrounding Jack the Ripper. The author uses a critical review of the kind that is now used to scrutinize unsolved crimes. He re-checks, re-examines and re-evaluates the facts, conjectures, newspaper accounts, eyewitness reports and official pronouncements. The book includes: descriptions of the locations where the bodies were found; detailed histories of the victims; profiles of key police officials and examinations of police procedures, investigations, blunders and errors; details of prevailing myths about the case; an evaluation of all the chief suspects; comprehensive analyses of the existing literature; discussions of written communications ostensibly sent by the Ripper; and an argument identifying the most likely suspects.
