This book uses the original correspondence to shed fresh light on the misconceptions that dogged both the police and Fleet Street, as well as revealing insights into the Victorian psyche. The cases of three people arrested for sending Ripper letters are examined and the book concludes with the question: was Jack the Ripper merely a press invention?
