THE REAL MARY KELLY Jack the Ripper's fifth victim and the identity of the man that killed her

Hardback. SIGNED. Over the decades, many researchers have tried to discover the true identity of Mary Jane Kelly. She was the final victim of Jack the Ripper and, arguably, the most brutally murdered, but almost nothing is known about her. The author, a qualified surgeon and Mary's great-nephew, delves into the inscrutable history behind the Ripper's fifth and final victim. Exploring her family and her early life, he reveals how the elusive Mary Jane Kelly was wholly intertwined with the enigma of her legendary killer.
