1870s, 1888: Jack the Ripper and his real motives for the horrific crimes..
The Ripper Secret
What you need to know before your trail
In the summer of 1888, a killer is about to rampage through East London. But what are the real motives behind the murders?
Police Commissioner Charles Warren has in his possession an ancient artefact of incredible value, and unknowable danger. Discovered on a mission to Jerusalem, he smuggled the relic back to England, never imagining the peril he would place himself in, and more devastatingly, the women of Whitechapel.
As the Ripper strikes, again, and again, the truth may finally be uncovered…

Travel BookTrail style to Whitechapel, London
London at the time Jack the Ripper carried out his reign of terror, was a city of promiscuity, moral decline, prostitution, unemployment, poverty, police inefficiency… all these things combined to create a feeling of uncertainty and fear.
The East End of London became the focus of that fear. Whitechapel was known for its uneducated, poverty-ridden and morally destitute masses. Jack the Ripper walked onto the streets of the East End and put into stark contrast everything that was wrong about society as a whole.
The locations of the actual crimes are hidden or faded into the past now, but most of the locations can be visited on official Jack the Ripper tours and of course with this book!
Temple Mount Jerusalem
This version of the Jack the Ripper story starts in Jerusalem and involves two of the most sacred sites in Jerusalem. It looks at religious artefacts and the Jewish link to the murders at the time. No spoilers here, but a very interesting explanation for who did the crimes and why and what that quote about the ‘jewes’ had to do with it all….
