Vengeance of the Ripper - Steve Leshin

[The Grave Maurice]

Lulu.com has a lot to answer for. Here's the description of one of their latest offerings.

Jack the Ripper, the first famously known serial killer, escapes after his murderous rampage in London and shows up 20 years later in Los Angeles. Three prostitutes are murdered in the span of a few nights. At the same time legendary lawman, Wyatt Earp, settling in the city, receives a letter beyond the grave from his old friend, Doc Holliday. Wyatt and his wife, Josie, are led to the outskirts of the city, where they find more than they bargained for. Soon Wyatt must race against time to stop the Ripper from claiming another victim---Josie. Wyatt enlists the aide of good friend, Bat Masterson, another western legend.

Sounds rivetting.

I actually read Vengeance of the Ripper and appreciated it for what it is-a work of fiction. The story moves along well and the character who turns out to be the ripper could be a composite of different suspects based on the case files. The theory of the ripper's identity put forth in the book seems as credible as earlier theories. What are your thoughts about the latest suspect, Robert Mann?
