Opis

A controversial, graphic and often disturbing account of how Sherlock Holmes, the archetypal detective, discovered the identity of Jack The Ripper, the killer who stalked Whitechapel in 1888. Based on newly discovered journals of his intimate friend, Doctor Watson, confidential Scotland Yard files, plus the intimate and revealing diaries of Dr Watson's second wife, the novel shows a view of Victorian London which peels away the layers of respectability and reveals society just as violent, exploitative and prurient as our own.
