A book like no other - the tale of a gripping quest to discover the identity of history's most notorious murderer and a literary high-wire act from the legendary writer and director of Withnail and I. 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.
