A #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller.
From New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell comes Ripper: The Secret Life of Walter Sickert, a comprehensive and intriguing exposé of one of the worldâs most chilling cases of serial murderâand the police force that failed to solve it.
Vain and charismatic Walter Sickert made a name for himself as a painter in Victorian London. But the ghoulish nature of his artâas well as extensive evidenceâpoints to another name, one thatâs left its bloody mark on the pages of history: Jack the Ripper. Cornwell has collected never-before-seen archival materialâincluding a rare mortuary photo, personal correspondence and a will with a mysterious autopsy clauseâand applied cutting-edge forensic science to open an old crime to new scrutiny.
Incorporating material from Portrait of a Killer: Jack the RipperâCase Closed, this new edition has been revised and expanded to include eight new chapters, detailed maps and hundreds of images that bring the sinister case to life.
Note: This book contains images that some readers may find disturbing.
