Jack of Jumps
On Sale $

Eight prostitutes in West London were murdered by a serial killer between 1959 and 1965, in a spree that would go on to be one of the most notorious unsolved crimes of the 20th century. The unknown killer was dubbed ‘Jack the Stripper” by the press, while a massive police operation was underway to track down the mysterious murderer.
When the vicious spree seemingly ceased, the public was left with little information into the suspected criminal’s whereabouts. In 1970, the lead detective announced that the police knew the identity of the killer, who had supposedly committed suicide. The mystery surrounding the entire case has left the world with a plethora of unanswered questions–until now. In this fascinating book, David Seabrook uncovers the evidence, false rumors, and half truths about the case, interviewing surviving officers, witnesses, and associates of the victims. Was Jack the Stripper really the murderer? Seabrook confronts the disturbing possibility that the killer is still out there.
