Diary Of Jack The Ripper by Shirley Harrison

Diary Of Jack The Ripper by Shirley Harrison

The original publication of "The Diary of Jack the Ripper" in 1993 caused a sensation throughout the world. Its pages reveal the unimaginable - that over a century ago, the legendary serial killer at work in London's Whitechapel has written a confession of his bestial mutilations of women. The writer is identifiable as James Maybrick, a 49-year-old cotton merchant from Liverpool, a strychnine and arsenic addict with a history of domestic violence. His diary has now survived more rigorious analysis than any previous Ripper document. In this book, investigative writer Shirley Harrison tells the story of how the diary was tested and examined. Her narrative follows in the footsteps of Maybrick the Ripper, and, supported by a mass of fresh evidence, she explains why she became convinced that the diary is genuine. This new edition has been updated by the author to include the latest research. The diary itself is reproduced in full, so that readers can assess for themselves the deeply disturbing and chilling words of Jack the Ripper from across the abyss of more than a century.

Shirley Harrison began broadcasting with Uncle Mac on Children's Hour in 1954. She wrote for most national magazines and newspapers, turning to non-fiction after the death of her husband in 1982. Shirley divides her time between Borough High Street, London and Normandy. She has four grown up children and is now, coincidentally, married to Duncan Field whose forbears were undertakers in Whitechapel at the time of Jack the Ripper! Her biography of Sylvia Pankhurst, will be published in the Spring.
