Everyone knows the story: A phantom killer stalks Victorian London's foggy streets. Five women dead. The murderer never caught. Case unsolved.
But what if that's exactly how it was supposed to end?
Join Percival Blackwood as he walks through 1888 Whitechapel to examine the evidence they destroyed, the witnesses they silenced, and the suspects they protected. You'll discover how a journalist may have invented history's most famous killer, why the police commissioner washed away the only real clue, and what really happened after November 9, 1888.
This isn't just about who Jack the Ripper was. It's about who needed him to remain unknown—and why that need was worth more than justice.
Sometimes the most terrifying mysteries aren't unsolved. They're deliberately unsolvable.
