ISBN10: 1844541037, ISBN13: 9781844541034, [publisher: John Blake] Hardcover First Edition Hardback, SIGNED. 'There have been countless attempts to solve the brutal murders committed more than a 100yrs. ago by Jack the Ripper. It seems that almost everyone has a pet theory, ranging from the reasonably likely to the entirely preposterous. What this most famous of British criminal cases has always required is a clear, professional eye to analyse the evidence with all the benefits of modern investigative techniques. Now that has been provided in the shape of the man most qualified to crack the case - former murder squad detective Trevor Marriott. He casts aside rumours, fantasies and urban legends which have for so long stalked through the shadowy world of this vile killer. The results are startling: for many years it has ben accepted that Jack the Ripper killed only 5 women, but now it can be revealed that up to 9 were victims. And, most astonishingly of all, a suspect previously unconsidered has been firmly put in the frame. Not only that, but similar murders in Europe and Central America have been uncovered with evidence linking them to the Whitechapel murders and the new suspect. Has everyone been wrong all these years?' The author refutes all previous theories. 310pp. 8vo. h/back. With the usual lightly browned pp. o/w Nr. F. in F. protected dw. With tipped-in label SIGNED BY TREVOR MARRIOTT.

London: John Blake, Date: 2005. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. x, 310 pages. Illustrations. Trevor Marriott was, a retired homicide detective working to unmask the identity of Jack the Ripper. He waged a solitary legal battle to force Scotland Yard to release uncensored versions of information recorded in thick Victorian ledgers that are gathering dust in an official archive. The volumes contain tens of thousands of tidbits on the Yard's dealings with the public and police informants in the years after the Ripper's grisly two-month killing rampage in 1888. The shadowy figure is alleged to have slain five women in London's seamy Whitechapel district, slitting their throats and, in some cases, eviscerating them with almost surgical precision. But the Metropolitan Police Service, as Scotland Yard is formally known, has staunchly refused to publish the documents in unexpurgated form, without names blacked out. In a surreal tribunal hearing in May, during which a senior officer gave evidence from behind an opaque screen and cited Judas Iscariot to support his point, the agency argued that laying everything bare would violate its confidentiality pledge to informants, even those long dead, and undermine recruitment of collaborators in the present-day fight against terrorism and organized crime. Naming names might even put the snitches' descendants at risk of revenge by the grudge-bearing heirs of those who were informed on, officials said. The ...
