Welcome to issue 99 of Ripperologist magazine, the publication which your granny would have admired for its timekeeping.
Sandwiched between the recent 4-part anniversary themed issue and the imminent issue 100, by no means have we stinted on the quality of our content.
Kicking things off is Don Souden who, in his editorial, opens The Doorway to Dreams, welcoming the New Year with the bright eyes usually reserved for Monty on entering a conference bar.
Evoking the spirit of suspects past is Jonathan Hainsworth, who in "Druitt's Ghost" questions Macnaghten and firmly pushes Monty back to the head of the queue.
Taking the reins of the no-nonsense approach is Prof. Gunter Wolff MD, who investigates Possible Mythological Meanings of Kidney Excision to Jack the Ripper. And you'd better believe he knows his stuff: Prof Wolff is Full Professor of Internal Medicine (Nephrology and Diabetology) and Chairman of the Department of Internal Medicine III (Nephrology, Rheumatology/Osteology, Endocrinology/Diabetology) at the Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena, Germany.
Taking a dip into the archives is always a pleasure, especially when it comes in the form of an article published many years ago, and unknown to many readers. This time it's a feature in the Readers' Digest from 1971: The Enduring Mystery of Jack the Ripper by James Stewart-Gordon, which handily provides a measure of how far popular Ripperology has come in 35 years.
Next up is one Mike Covell with his black Gladstone bag...Jack the Ripper and Knives is a long overdue detailed look at the make up of a knife in Victorian times. Which one was Jack's?
Our features are concluded by Suzi Hanney, who enters out Victorian Vets for the first time to look at cats in Victorian times in Pussycat, Pussycat, Where Have You Been? Look out for future visits to the vets in future issues.
We also reveal our nominations for the best article published in our pages in the past twelve months. These will now go before our select panel, who will choose what will be the winner of the inaugural Jeremy Beadle prize, awarded not only the honour of the title, but also £100 cash.
The nominations are as follows:
