Ripper
In the 120 years since the bloody, and still-unsolved, serial killings perpetrated in the Whitechapel section of London (1888-1891), the mysterious figure of Jack the Ripper has remained a fascinating character for novelists and true-crime writers. Below, you’ll find a list of many of the novels or short-story collections featuring bloody Jack as a character or focus of the story. Below that, you’ll find some of the non-fiction True Crime volumes that take an extended look at Jack’s historic unsolved crimes.
