The Devil in Whitechapel: The Untold Story of Jack the Ripper Kindle Edition

by Robert Keller (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 118 ratings

Forget everything you’ve ever heard about Jack the Ripper


During the autumn of 1888, a series of murders occurred in London’s
East End that sent shockwaves reverberating around the world. The victims
were all prostitutes,their killer, a knife-wielding assailant with an insatiable bloodlust.

Within the space of just three months, this unnamed fiend would claim at least five lives. Then, he mysteriously vanished, leaving behind a trail of mutilated corpses and a scar upon our collective psyche that endures to this day.

The atrocities attributed to Jack the Ripper have become the stuff of legend. And like any legend they have become the subject of wild speculation and unfounded theory...until now.

Join true crime author Robert Keller as he embarks upon a forensic examination of this most enigmatic of murder cases.

WARNING: Be prepared to have everything you thought you knew about Jack the Ripper picked apart and challenged.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

As a twelve year old, I borrowed a book from the library that I thought was a vampire novel. It turned out to be the true story of British "vampire" serial killer, John Haigh (amazing the things they'll let a 12 year old check out!). Nonetheless, I was fascinated, and even though the librarian wouldn't let me take out any other books on the subject, I became a true crime junkie, burning my way through True Detective magazines by the dozen.

Forty years later, I feel as though I've investigated more cases of murder than most homicide detectives, studied more serial killers than your average profiler, and spent more time than a conference full of psychologists trying to understand what every true crime buff really wants to know; Why do they do it?

My books feature the cases that interest me most. I hope that you will find them equally fascinating.

    Another investigation into the identity of Jack the Ripper. After one reads 165 pages Keller tells us that no one will ever know Jack's true identity. If course, everyone already knows this. However, this study is well written and thorough. I enjoyed the presentation of evidence, and recommend this comprehensive work.

    The Devil in Whitechapel is a terrific introduction to the history surrounding Jack the Ripper. The first half of the book is devoted to the details of the crimes. In the second half Robert Keller distinguishes between known facts and suppositions closing with a very well argued systematic approach to finally unveiling the identity of the killer. Very well done!

    We'll probably never know. I've read and seen many books and movies on the subject, but this book is the first I've encountered that doesn't sensationalize Jack. This is a typically thorough job by Robert Keller. I was especially drawn to the use of modern profiling to give some clues about the identity and motives of the Whitechapel murder. I recommend the book to fans of true crime stories, fans of Ann Rule, M. William Phelps, Aphrodite Jones -- and, of course, Robert Keller.

    Good coverage of Jack the Ripper's killings in Whitechapel, but of course Jack was never caught, so not as satisfying as this is a real life tale.

    Good summation of who might be Jack and also separates a lot of ripper fact from fiction. Kudos on negating Patricia Cornwell's book on Walter Sickert being Jack. Most likely Cornwell discovered that Sickert wrote at least one Ripper letter. None of the reasons that might have caused jack's reign of terror to end would apply to Sickert who lived for decades subsequent to mary nichol's death without incarceration or lunacy confinement.
    Book has no comment on whether or not Jack was William Bury. Bury might have been Jack except for Bury going to the police with some silly story about how Bury's wife died. Is this the actions of the cunning and daring Whitechapel killer?

    I love Robert Keller's books. I think we've all heard Jack the Ripper stories our entire life. So many speculations but we will probably never know for sure. Robert has done extensive research on this and there was a lot of info here that I'd never heard before and also put a lot of theories to rest about who he really was. It's a quick read and I recommend it to anyone with interest in this 'cold case'.

    Jack The Ripper books are interesting and everyone looks for more information on who he was. There is, however, more information regarding the murder of Martha Tabrum in Tom Wescott's book on the Bank Holiday Murders. All in all, this book is very interesting. I enjoyed it very much.

    Hi, this book gives an account of what happened. It's pure history- the events, people involved, the events leading to unfortunate murders, their effects on the society and surroundings; all of it has been described. Unlike other books, there's no attempt made to proclaim who the Ripper was. And that's a good thing, because it's quite impossible to do so.
