He was an ex-medical student with a dissecting scalpel, and a history of mental illness and trouble with the police. He had just broken up with a prostitute and had written about cutting women's stomachs open. At the same time, a few yards from his refuge, a woman was knifed, as part of a spate of prostitute murders, which one coroner said was by someone who had considerable anatomical skill and knowledge. Richard A. Patterson sets out a compelling case for English poet Francis Thompson as the prime suspect for Jack the Ripper in this must-read for Ripperologists the world over.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"US Naval Institute Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45031054311575,"sku":"9781786934499","price":827.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781786934499.webp?v=1769206347","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/jack-the-ripper-the-works-of-francis-thompson-9781786934499","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
