Description

London, 1894. A meeting in a Chelsea drawing room brings together Police Chief Macnaghten, Oscar Wilde, and Arthur Conan Doyle to discuss one of England's most infamous cases: the identity of Jack the Ripper. The detective in charge of the investigations was actually Oscar Wilde's neighbour in Tite Street, Chelsea, adding an intriguing layer to this already gripping story. This account by Arthur Conan Doyle combines the intrigue of a classic murder mystery with a witty and compelling portrait of one of the greatest characters of the Victorian age. Based on Oscar Wilde's real-life friendship with Conan Doyle, this book offers a unique perspective on the events of 1894, the year Jack the Ripper returned to terrorise London.
