Product Description
Product Description
Jack Thomas Reid, nephew of Robert Cavendish who first appeared in A Study in Red - The Secret Journal of Jack the Ripper languishes in the secure Ravenswood Psychiatric Hospital, sentenced to confinement 'at Her Majesty's Pleasure' for a series of apparent 'Jack the Ripper' copycat killings in the picturesque English coastal resort of Brighton. Jack's defence at his trial, that he is a descendant of Jack the Ripper and that the crimes were conducted by an unknown 'mystery man' and that Jack was drugged and made to appear as the killer was regarded as so preposterous and unbelievable that his sentence was never in doubt. When one of the policemen who conducted the original investigation into the murders begins to doubt the truth of the case against Reid, Sergeant Carl Wright and Ripperologist Alice Nickels begin an investigation into his story. What they find is told through the voice of Doctor Ruth Truman, Jack's psychiatrist at Ravenswood, and through a series of events that take place as far afield as the beautiful island of Malta and in Warsaw, Poland. Slowly but surely and with the help of Wright's boss Inspector Mike Holland, the link between the events that shocked and terrorised Whitechapel over a century ago, and their link with the case of Jack Thomas Reid and the 'Legacy of Jack the Ripper' is revealed.

Has the Ripper come to Brighton??,
By
This review is from: Legacy of the Ripper (Paperback)
The Legacy of The RipperBy Brian L Porter The story begins with Jack Reid confined to a psychiatric hospital, having been found guilty of copycat killings of Jack the Ripper. The killings took place in Brighton, a seaside resort on the south coast of England. In his defence, Jack tells the police he is innocent and that he had been drugged and framed for the crimes. Only when one of the detectives on the case decides to investigate further, does the true story emerge. This is another thrilling story penned by Brian L Porter. Following on from his masterpiece, A Study in Red - The Secret Journal of Jack the Ripper, Porter goes on to tell what happens when Jack Reid inherits the secret papers left to him by his late Uncle Robert. Set in the present day, the author cleverly leaves the reader on a cliff-hanger at the end of each chapter, as he tells how Detective Inspector Holland and Sergeant Wright set about discovering, who is brutally killing young women on their patch. Like A Study in Red, this is another gripping novel and I found I was unable to put it down. Well done Brian L Porter. Eileen Thornton, author of The Trojan Project.

This review is from: Legacy of the Ripper (Paperback)
Jack Reid is confined to a psychiatric hospital, for being found guilty of copycat killings of Jack the Ripper in the seaside town of Brighton. But then one of the detectives on the case decides to investigate further and dicovers what really happened.Following on from A Study in Red - The Secret Journal of Jack the Ripper, Brian L Porter goes on to tell what happens when Jack Reid inherits the secret papers left to him by Robert Cavendish, his late uncle. Set in the present day, the author tells how Detective Sergeant Wright sets out to discover, what really happened - was Jack Reid really responsible for the deaths in Brighton or was he framed, as he claims? Once again Porter pulls no punches, the brutal murders are described in full. This is another thrilling novel, which I didn't want to put down until the very end.
