From today's DAILY MAIL in London JACK THE RIPPER Identified

This article raises some questions but I don't think necessarily proves anything. Certainly it is interesting reading.

Book Review: "THE LONDON MONSTER: A Sanguinary Tale" by Jan Bondeson, De Capo Press, 2001.

An obscure book about an obscure crime spree and long forgotten trial. Predating Jack The Ripper by almost one hundred years, London of 1790 is besieged by a serial slasher. This is long and scholarly work, one that is not a light read; however, it is a fascinating tale of crime, society, class, punishment, and the sado-sexual world none of us studied in Western Civilization.

If you are as fascinated with the criminal mind and investigation as I am this a book for you.
