In 1888 London, an enigmatic figure called Jack the Ripper wreaked havoc with shocking murders in the East End. As the police wrestled to stop the killer, their suspect seemed to disappear as quickly as the killings began. Over time, such atrocious acts were turned into clues and movies, deriving amusement from the tragedy. But New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell sees this as a crime that must not be ignored - so she uses her investigative prowess to expose the Victorian killer. In Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper, Case Closed, Cornwell dissects evidence, unearths documents, and deploys modern forensics to uncover the answer: celebrated artist Walter Richard Sickert. Pick up this novel to re-open the case of a potential new suspect!
