This work delves deep into the case of the Thames Torso Murders. It begins with a look at London in the 1800s and the killer's path to London, which seems to include a murder in Paris in 1886. The book then examines in great detail each murder and the investigation that may have been hindered by the search for Jack the Ripper. It also raises the idea that Jack the Ripper and the Torso Murderer may have been the same man - Severin Klosowski, better known as George Chapman, the Borough Prisoner. It ends with an examination of the files on the Ripper, Torso and Borough Poisoner murder cases.
