Description
In 1893, Detective Inspector William Race made a shocking revelation to two journalists working for The Sun. He claimed to know the identity of Jack the Ripper, a case that had baffled Scotland Yard for years. Two years earlier, Race had arrested Thomas Hayne Cutbush, a 25-year-old man who matched eyewitness descriptions of the killer and exhibited similar behavior. Race's decision to go public with his findings led to one of the biggest journalistic investigations of its time. The Sun put its star reporters on the trail of Cutbush, publishing their results in a sensational exposé that caused a stir. However, the investigation was also marred by controversy, as it relied heavily on flawed assumptions and eyewitness testimony. In "The Man Who Would Be Jack", David Bullock re-examines Race's findings and uncovers new evidence that challenges our understanding of the case. This fresh take on one of history's most infamous crimes is a gripping detective story that sheds new light on a notorious murder spree.
