On The Track Of The Ripper

Here's Tenniel's contemporary view of the police investigation.

Tony, I just finished reading a book, and throughout my reading of it I knew I wanted to tell you about it.

The book is Ghost Hunters: William James and the Search for Scientific Proof of Life After Death. Here is the UK Amazon source if you are interested.

It's fascinating, well written, and talks about genuine mediums and spirit communication, etc., in depth. The author, Deborah Blum, won the Pulitzer in 1992 for a NF book about primates.
