Paul Harrison

[phantom]

Hi all

Is this Paul Harrison the same bloke who wrote Jack the Ripper The Mystery Solved in the early 90s?

I note that they’re both described as ex Northampton policeman…

Yes it is. It’s a Joseph Barnett suspect book and he researched and wrote about the wrong Joseph Barnett.

I believe so.

It comes to something when even Peter Sutcliffe calls you a "wazzock".

[Busy Beaver]

Oh well, another book for the Bonfire

[richardh]

So he gets exposed and decided to blame everyone but himself?

As it has been withdrawn from sale by the publisher, it could be rare and collectable. You should maybe spare it from the flames for a while.

There's one (used) copy on Amazon priced at £180.

Got this book in my stash

I actually meant Harrison's latest, which his publisher has withdrawn from sale and therefore may have a rarity value in the future. Loretta has a copy or two of Harrison's Ripper book for a few pounds. Why the seller on Amazon wants £180 is beyond me. Ot Loretta is underpinning her copy.

Did you ever meet Paul Harrison?

Perhaps this copy is the one with the right Joe Barnett in it

Thanks JM.

Indeed, I’ve never bothered to read it.

But Bruce Paley’s book was one of my earliest JtR purchases.

I believe so.

Cheers Paul.

Nah.

They were holed up in The Southern Cross Hotel in June 1964 when they played Melbourne.
