Books
This text, compiled from years of meticulous research at last presents the case for the upper-class Police Chief, Sir Melville Macnaghten's claim that there was only ever five murders and one genuine suspect for the atrocities performed by 'Jack the Ripper' and why in a carefully filed official document, he named him as M.J. Druitt. What would you have done? If you had walked in the footsteps of the Druitt family in late 1888, burdened with the belief that a once bright, talented and beloved family member was in fact leading a double life as 'Jack'? The highly accomplished Druitt clan, the very best example of Victorian respectability, are investigated, revealing an anguished and agitated cohort, making several unsuccessful attempts to alert authorities that the 'Ripper' they were searching for after December 1888 was in fact already deceased.
