Synopsis

Less than three weeks after the last Whitechapel murder, Thomas Cutbush is committed to Broadmoor Asylum for savage attacks on young women. The arresting officer, intrigued by connections with the unsolved murders in the East End, starts to wonder whether he has, in fact, arrested Jack the Ripper himself.

Author's Bio

David Bullock lives in Berkshire with his wife and son. He has been researching the Ripper case for over twenty years and in 2013 appeared in the Channel 5 documentary Inside Broadmoor. David is a regular speaker on the subject and is also a contributor to the Whitechapel Society Journal.

TV presenter Nick Knowles

‘Brilliantly researched and expertly written.’
The Whitechapel Society

‘It is one of the volumes every Ripperologist should have on their bookshelf.’

‘David Bullock’s meticulously-researched book is a welcome addition to the serious works in this field, casting light on a hitherto neglected suspect…his lively writing style brings the period and, in particular, the exploits of Thomas Cutbush, to life.’
Tessa Harris, author of The Anatomist’s Apprentice

‘Suspenseful prose, as good as any fictional murder story.’
The Good Book Guide

‘A fascinating story.’
Essie Fox

‘An engaging atmospheric read, this account of the life and crimes of Ripper suspect Thomas Cutbush brings to life the seamy and violent side of Victorian society.’

“Bullock makes a strong and convincing case, admirably summarised in 21 key points towards the end.”
