Summary:

"Will Jack the Ripper ever be identified? The answer is an emphatic "No". Jack the Ripper did not exist -- except within the minds of his creators and those who for one reason or another have strived for over more than a century to make the myth a reality. "Deconstructing Jack : the Secret History of the Whitechapel Murders" exposes the endless stream of lies, invention, political misinformation, self-publicity and opportunism which has kept this Victorian bogeyman alive in the darkest reaches of our 21st Century imaginations."--back cover.
