Jack the Ripper – A Confession

Although based on recognized facts, this chilling novel is to some
extent a fictionalized account of the Whitechapel murders which
finally reveals the motive and the identity of the person who was
destined to become the most feared and heinous murderer of
the late 19th century.

For the first time, a full-sized map and map booklet has
been produced that uniquely depicts those Whitechapel
streets stalked
by
Jack the Ripper

Extensively researched for the historian and enthusiast
alike, every sordid street, doss-house, public house and
official institution directly associated with the murders
has been identified.

For the first time, this 1888 map of Whitechapel allows you to explore the streets stalked by the infamous killer, Jack the Ripper. Buck’s Row, Hanbury Street, Berner Street, Mitre Square and Miller’s Court have all been carefully reproduced in detail, again prompting the old age question: who was Jack the Ripper?

Jack the Ripper supposedly butchered five women; Polly Nicholls, Annie Chapman, Liz Stride, Kate Eddowes and Mary Kelly, in a single square mile of the East End of London. The importance of this highly detailed Whitechapel 1888 map is that it allows you to track the probable routes taken by Jack the Ripper, moving from one murder location to the next.

The Whitechapel 1888 map is also significant in that it raises serious questions about the murders. How many of the five ‘canonical’ victims did Jack the Ripper actually murder. Undoubtedly, he murdered Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Kate Eddowes and Mary Kelly. But what of Liz Stride? Why would Jack the Ripper venture south of Whitechapel High Street only to murder once? And what of Kate Eddowes’ piece of apron found in Wentworth Model Dwellings? The location of Goulston Street is just as important as the blood-stained article.

“Whilst we conventional Social Democrats were wasting our time on education,
agitation, and organisation, some independent genius has taken the matter in
hand, and by simply murdering and disembowelling four women, converted
the proprietary press to an inept sort of communism.”
