IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE WHITECHAPEL MURDERS. An Examination of the Jack the Ripper Murders Using Modern Police Techniques.

Hardback. The author brings his police service as Senior Investigating Officer in over 30 murder investigations to bear on how the modern police force would deal with the facts in the case of Jack the Ripper. He explains the channels that would be followed and the personnel involved, and skillfully blends fact and fiction in a fascinating account of a police interview with the Ripper himself, whose chilling confession and motives are all too believable. Illus. 201pp. 8vo. h/back. Because of the very small print run of this first edition h/back 'Ripper' title, it has become quite scarce. Lacks dust jacket. F.
