While researching her grandfather's London childhood and his "benefactor" Dr. Thomas Barnardo, Jennifer came across overwhelming evidence showing that as well as being the narcissistic sociopath who sold children to Canada for his own profit, Dr. Barnardo was also the infamous murderer Jack the Ripper. The doctor was a well-known Evangelist preaching fire and brimstone to the unfortunate sinners living in the Whitechapel slums by day who slated his lust and anger on the unfortunates earning their living by night. He was aided in this task by his boyhood friend and fellow Evangelist Sir Robert Anderson, who was leading the criminal investigation into Jack the Ripper for Scotland Yard. Using actual newspaper articles and official documents, this book brings to life not only the deaths and lives of the victims and details of the police investigation, but also the actions, thoughts and feelings of the killer, whose life has been detailed very thoroughly by his many biographers and by his own personal diary. After 137 years, Jack the Ripper has been unmasked - at last.
