For over a hundred years'the mystery of Jack the Ripper' has been a source of unparalleled fascination and horrorspawning an army of obsessive theoristsand endless volumes purporting finally to reveal the identity of the brutal murderer who terrorised Victorian England. But what if there was never really any 'mystery' at all What if the Ripper was always hiding in plain sightdeliberately leaving a trail of clues to his identity for anyone who cared to lookwhile cynically mocking those who were supposedly attempting to bring him to justice In 'They All Love Jack'the award-winning film director and screenwriter Bruce Robinson exposes the cover-up that enabled one of history's most notorious serial killers to remain at large.More than twelve years in the writingthis is much more than a radical reinterpretation of the Jack the Ripper legendand an enthralling hunt for the killer.A literary high-wire act reminiscent of Tom Wolfe or Hunter S. Thompsonit is an expressionistic journey through the cesspools of late-Victorian societya phantasmagoria of highly placed villainshypocrites and institutionalised corruption. Polemicforensic investigationpanoramic portrait of an age underpinned by deep scholarship and delivered in Robinson's inimitably vivid and scabrous prose'They All Love Jack' is an absolutely riveting and unique bookdemolishing the theories of generations of self-appointed experts - the so-called 'Ripperologists' - to make clearat lastwho really did it; and more importantlyhow he managed to get away with it for so long. <br />Please contact seller @ rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.ukbecause of the weight/value of this item for correctinsured shipping/Pp quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!

239 pages. "In 1956, nearly forty years after the death of Canadian artist, Tom Thomson, William T. Little and three companions set themselves to a macabre task. Ever since July 16, 1917, when the artist's badly decomposing body was found floating in the waters of Canoe Lake, controversey and conjecture hovered over the matter of how Tom Thomson really met his death. It was as a result of this prolonged uncertainty that the four men began digging in the little cemetery in Algonquin Park where Thomson was supposedly buried... On the one hand William Little has been able to give us a fuller understanding of both Thomson's personality and his instincts as a painter. On the other, he has amassed considerable evidence that suggests a murder, a suspect, and a motive." - from back cover. Gift greetings inside front cover and at foot of back flyleaf. Covers carefully preserved in glossy clear adhesive laminate. Tight and square with moderate wear. Sound copy. Book
