Ripper Diary The Inside Story

by Seth Linder

I've got Jack the Ripper's diary, would you be interested in seeing it? So began the saga of the Ripper Diary, which has intrigued and infuriated both historical researchers and Ripperologists since it first surfaced in 1992. This book traces the history of the diary, which has proven to be every bit as mysterious as the Whitechapel murders themselves. Ripper Diary: The Inside Story offers a major new evaluation of the diary's authenticity and includes extracts from the diary. Keith Skinner, Seth Linder, and Caroline Morris disentangle the history of the diary in a work of literary sleuthing that offers a masterful reassessment of the evidence and a wealth of insight into the personalities involved in Ripper research. Whether the diary is one of the most sensational finds of the twentieth century or a brilliant literary hoax, Ripper Diary: The Inside Story is bound to stir up controversy.
