"After several centuries of unsuccessful inquiries, Sophie Herfort has finally revealed the identity of Jack the Ripper.
The outcome of her revolutionary work outshines all previous investigation of the case: The murderer ended his career in the police, with honours!
His name : Sir Melville Leslie Macnaghten
Chief Head of Scotland Yard’s criminal investigation department
Fifteen years of research, hundreds of pieces of evidence collected and analyzed to support the most plausible theory to date : The famous victorian killer was neither a woman (as a biologist suggested recently), nor a painter (Patricia Cornwell’s hypothesis). The murderer was a humiliated man, craving vengeance and blinded by ambition, a perverse man, taking sadistic pleasure in deceiving the police force before becoming part of it.
The real face of London’s terror of 1888
This investigation is unique, thanks to the deduction skills of the author and her ability to solve one of the most complex enigmas in the history of crime. Her determination to discover the truth and re-open the investigation classified since 1892 gave her access to new evidence including the Memoirs of Macnaghten, those of his daughter’s, and internal, confidential testimonies from Scotland Yard.
A unique historical document, a solid demonstration, placing an unusual criminal affair in a new light.
A demonstration in three major acts :
First Act : we discover that, in only four months (August-November 1888), the seedy districts of London become the scene of five increasingly savage murders displaying shocking pattern : prostitutes, their bodies dissected, their throats cut, their organs removed...
Second Act : where we witness a violent argument between James Monro (assistant commissioner) and Sir Charles Warren – Scotland Yard’s Commissioner – about Monro's friend : Melville Macnaghten (former director of a tea plantation who left the Indies for London). This argument, kept confidential until now, reveals that Warren refused to hire Melville as a police inspector despite a promise already made. The former plantation owner endured humiliation. Warren didn't deign to receive him for the post. Three days later, Jack commits his first crime. The murders end the very day Warren, unable to arrest the murderer, is forced to resign by the Queen and terrified Londoners.
Third Act : we realize thanks to frightening evidence that Melville and Jack are the same person. Proof adds up. A skillful hunter in the Indies, an expert in dismemberment and evisceration, Macnaghten liked to chase the Jackal, “The Jack” as written in his memoirs!
The letter “M”, written with the blood of the victims, is often found on the scene of the murders. A piece of the envelope enclosing the refusal to hire Macnaghten is also found in the surroundings of the second victim. When Macnaghten joined Scotland Yard in June 1889, he quickly solves the mystery by accusing a lawyer (Macnaghten says he’s a doctor) who died in mysterious conditions…
A month after Macnaghten’s arrival in the police force, the only officer who caught a glimpse of the murderer resigned without any explanation. At the end of his career, Macnaghten destroys all the existing files on the Ripper. This strange behaviour makes sense when he confesses that “for many years, his nervous system was disturbed” and “that he had to see more than one doctor”.
Even more incriminating, in 1911, a head figure of Scotland Yard admits that it would have damaged the police’s reputation to reveal the real murderer !
Based on indisputable proof, Sophie Herfort shows how Jack the Ripper followed a single objective: triggering the dismissal of the man who refused to hire him in the police force. To do so, he assassinated five prostitutes to spread terror in London and arouse the protest of the masses. "
Sophie Herfort has a degree in philosophy and art history. She has studied criminal psychology during extensive experience in hospitals, using her profiling skills to solve the enigma of Jack The Ripper.
