BOOK: Portrait of the a Killer: Jack the Ripper Case Closed


Portrait of the a Killer: Jack the Ripper Case Closed by Patricia Cornwell

Crime fiction writer Cornwell adds yet another volume to the Jack the Ripper literature. She argues that the serial killer had to be the painter Walter Richard Sickert (d. 1942) & that the killings continued beyond the 1888 murder spree. She presents a portrait of Sickert as deranged by genital deformations & points to clues in his paintings & his biography as giving weight to her description of him as psychopathic. Explorations of the physical evidence, including DNA tests commissioned by Cornwell are presented and new clues are sought in the accounts of the murders of the Ripper’s victims.
