In 1888 a series of notorious murders were perpetrated by an enigmatic killer known only as ‘Jack the Ripper’ who terrified the Whitechapel district of East London.  Six women were murdered in a four month period with the killings ending as suddenly as they began with an unknown motive.  ‘Whitechapel’ tells the story of these killings through the eyes of Robert Ford a young uniform constable working in the district during the reign of the horrific crimes.  The fictional story of his involvement with the investigation presents a plausible explanation of how and why the killings were perpetrated; how and why ‘Jack the Ripper’ was never caught and how members of the British establishment perverted the course of justice for their own selfish ends.It is also a story of love, duty, romance, tragedy and ultimately revenge that spans the late 19th Century in America, London and Paris through to the early 20th Century returning to St Louis, Missouri.Not only does it present a compelling read as a thriller but also serves as a history lesson about the ‘Jack the Ripper’ murders and about social deprivation in London during the late Victorian era.  Although in reality the mystery of the killer’s identity remains, ‘Whitechapel’ draws a conclusion on why and who committed these ghastly crimes. 3
