JtR: The Celebrity Suspects

[The Grave Maurice]

I stumbled across this new book this evening. So far, it is available only in the UK. Anyone had a chance to look at it yet?

Something made me think that one was pushed back until January 2009, but I might have it confused with something else.

Amazon.co.uk (was going to provide a link, but the Casebook New Jack the Ripper books page with the affiliate code seems to be down) shows a different cover design and a different publisher, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

Well, you're right, Dan, I have since seen a couple of notices that said publication would be delayed until January '09. On the other hand, Amazon UK now says that the book was published by The History Press on August 15th, but that it's already out of stock (?!?). Has anyone in the UK come across this title yet?

I have this book. It is quite a short book but worth a read, just to look at the amazing theories that have been conjured up to link JTR to a famous figure. Non of the theories are convincing but it is a nice quick read and worth purchasing.
