They All Love Jack: Busting the Ripper

Bruce Robinson’s obsessive, sprawling investigation into Jack the Ripper is as much about myth-making as murder. Robinson argues that Victorian society colluded in protecting the killer, weaving conspiracy, cultural history, and polemic. The book is eccentric, provocative, and deeply researched. Its tone is confrontational and personal, challenging comfortable narratives. Whether or not readers accept its conclusions, it is a fascinating exploration of how societies bury uncomfortable truths.
