Vain and charismatic Walter Sicker made a name for himself as a painter in Victorian London. But the ghoulish nature of his art - as well as extenisvie evidence - points to another name, one that's left it's bloody mark on the pages of history: Jack the Ripper. Cornwell has collected never-before-seen archival material - including a rare mortuary photo, personal correspondence and a will with a mysterious autopsy clause - and applied cutting-edge forensic science to open an old crime to new scrutiny. Incorporating material from :ortrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper - Case Closed, this edition has been revised and expanded to include eight new chapters.
