Synopsis
James Kelly was criminally insane, and was sent to Broadmoor in 1883 for stabbing his wife to death. He escaped in 1888. His own account of his subsequent adventures in England, France, Canada and the USA is an adventure story in itself, but there is a gap. He was significantly vague over where he was and what he did in 1888/9 - The months of the Ripper Murders. James Tully's persistent research has revealed damning evidence from previously secret files - some mysteriously called - that during these months the police were well aware that Kelly could well be the Ripper, but they failed to find him and then deliberately covered up their mistakes. Backing his arguments with meticulous research into the exact evidence at the inquest, and a wealth of historical and psychological detail - Kelly's personality eerily matches today's offender profiles of serial killers - James Tully presents an overwhelming case that here, at last, is the definitive answer to the greatest conundrum in the history of crime.
