227pp, Sobre la obra::'Tal vez' y `quiz�s` son palabras que Tony Williams y su coautor, Price Humphrey, utiliza con frecuencia en la discusi�n de 'El t�o Jack', su candidato a Jack el Destripador. Indeed, these words occur eight times in a single page of their book, suggesting a lack of conviction in their own theorising. De hecho, estas palabras se producen ocho veces en una sola p�gina de su libro, lo que sugiere una falta de convicci�n en sus propias teor�as. Making accusations that erode the good name and reputation of long-dead eminent Victorians has become something of a cult in the vast literature that has grown up around Ripperology. Hacer acusaciones que socavan el buen nombre y reputaci�n de los muertos hace mucho tiempo Victorianos eminentes se ha convertido en una especie de culto en la vasta literatura que ha crecido alrededor de Ripperology. Sir William Gull suffered at the hands of Stephen Knight and others and, now, Sir John Williams receives similar treatment from a family descendant. Sir William Gull sufrido a manos de Stephen Knight y otros, y, ahora, Sir John Williams recibe el mismo trato de un descendiente de la familia. It is a pity that the reputation of such a distinguished man has been tainted by accusations of criminality based on weak circumstantial evidence. Es una l�stima que la reputaci�n de un hombre tan distinguido ha sido manchado por acusaciones de criminalidad basada en pruebas circunstanciales d�biles...Sir John Williams, the `Uncle Jack` in the title of the book by Tony Williams and Humphrey Price (2005), was a highly respected Victorian doctor whose contribution to the cultural life of the country of his birth lay in his patronage of the National Library of Wales.

Rese�a del editor:

* The person identified as the killer of five women in London East End in 1888 has never before been named a suspect in more than a hundred years of intense speculation. * The co-author of the book is the great-great-nephew of the killer, who discovered extraordinary evidence while researching his illustrious ancestor. He did not set out to find Jack the Ripper, and did not want to believe that his great-great-uncle could have been responsible. But the evidence is incontrovertible. * The killer was a very eminent man in his field, and naming him will cause huge shockwaves in the places where he is still venerated. * No one has ever been able to find any evidence linking any of the suspects to the victims. This book puts forward clear evidence connecting the killer to three of the five victims, and circumstantial evidence connecting him to the other two. * Patricia Cornwell's international bestseller PORTRAIT OF A KILLER may have established that artist Walter Sickert wrote incriminating letters, but all other authorities (including the police) have always believed that the letters were a hoax and were not written by the killer. * The authors prove that their suspect was in Whitechapel at the same time as the crimes were committed, and had the knowledge and skills which the nature of the murders required. * For the first time, the book presents a consistent and plausible explanation for every aspect of the case, meeting all the key criteria of method, motive and opportunity. It also explains why the murders stopped as suddenly as they started. * The authors have even discovered what they believe to be the murder weapon. Further forensic testing may be able to establish this beyond any reasonable doubt.
