  • Free Book -- "The Ripperologists"

    Hello all.

    I'm trying to build up some reviews for my new novel, "The Ripperologists," on Amazon.com.

    In order to kindle that flame, as it were, I'm offering a free copy of the novel to the first three people that contact me. Your only obligation is that you have to write a short review on Amazon after you read the book -- pro or con, doesn't make no nevermind to me. I just need to get that pump primed.

    If you're interested, let me know.

    And thanks!

    John G.

    Oh, and here's a description of the book:

    Famous mystery novelist Barbara Thomas -- who has once again topped the best-seller lists, this time with a new, nonfiction book she claims reveals, once and for all, the true identity of Jack the Ripper -- is paired with legendary Ripperologist Henry McHugh, a renowned and beloved expert in the field.

    Brought together by an eager police detective, the two rivals must put aside their differences long enough to piece together the identity of a killer who has ingeniously recreated Jack the Ripper's first murder -- and looks to be well on his way to re-committing the next four.

    With wit and suspense -- and set against the backdrop of the fascinating subculture of Ripperologists -- the story takes equal stabs at the disparate worlds of publishing, Ripper studies, fan conventions, and Internet chatrooms, as our two unlikely heroes employ their (often contrary) knowledge of a 120-year-old phantom to hunt down a modern killer.

                  Hi, Is it too late to get a book? I used to review film scripts and written material for Hollywood producers. I read and made my comments on over 2500 pieces of material in the 80s-90s. I'd love to read yours and I promise to be kind. Thanks

                    I'd be happy to return the book if that's important.

                      John Gaspard is a good guy and is very serious about his work, unlike many hacks in Ripperology. Although his 'free' copies are spoken for, that doesn't mean the book isn't available for sale with good ol' fashioned currency. It's been on the front page of Casebook for a couple weeks now.

                      Yours truly,

                      Tom Wescott

                        Who are some of the "many hacks in Ripperology" Tom? Pun intended?

                        Me, I hope.
