Book description
An investigation into the man Scotland Yard thought (but couldn't
prove) was Jack the Ripper
Dozens of theories have attempted to resolve the mystery of the
identity of Jack the Ripper, the world's most famous serial killer.
Ripperologist Robert House contends that we may have known the answer
all along. The head of Scotland Yard's Criminal Investigation
Department at the time of the murders thought Aaron Kozminski was
guilty, but he lacked the legal proof to convict him. By exploring
Kozminski's life, House builds a strong circumstantial case against
him, showing not only that he had means, motive, and opportunity, but
also that he fit the general profile of a serial killer as defined by
the FBI today.

Scotland Yard's top suspects in the quest to identify Jack the
Ripper

techniques to solve one of the most vexing criminal mysteries of

pioneer of profiling sexual predators

Building a thorough and convincing case that completes the work begun
by Scotland Yard more than a century ago, this book is essential
reading for anyone who wants to know who really committed Jack the
Ripper's heinous and unforgettable crimes.
