Had the Jack the Ripper murders taken place in 1988 not 1888 then our response to them would have been markedly different. Since those dark days in Victorian London we have learnt much about this type of killer: their damaged childhoods, misfit adulthoods and psychopathic alienation from the human race. But can this new knowledge help to solve a mystery that has been eluding generations of policemen and historians? By comparing the crimes of the Ripper with those of other serial killers, Ripper expert William Beadle creates a more extensive psychological profile of the man behind Jack the Ripper than ever before. One suspect who embodied all the dire characteristics was William Henry Bury. B...
A Scotland Yard insider blows the whistle on police corruption in “a book . . . that everyone concerned with law and order should read” (Crime Review). During David Woodland’s nineteen years of service with the United Kingdom’s Metropolitan Police, the ‘thin blue line’ came under intense pressure. In addition to the routine caseload of gang crime, murder, and armed robbery, Irish terrorist groups launched a vicious and prolonged campaign of violence.

Casting aside the rumors, fantasies, and urban legends which have haunted this case for so long, Trevor Marriott produces some startling results—while it has long been accepted that Jack the Ripper killed only five women, Marriott believes there were up to nine victims. Most astonishingly of all, a previously unconsidered suspect who also committed murders in America and Germany has been firmly put in the frame. All previous theories are refuted in what may possibly be the final word on the Ripper murders.

The pigs emphasize the differences between them and other animals. This chapter also alludes to Plato's "Allegory of the Cave," but some animals stay in the cave rather than be led out; their influence is apparent in the last chapter.

Together they found Utopia University, basing it on Truth, Justice, and Charity. The third chapter, "The Politically Incorr...
