Overview of Jack the Ripper: Case Closed Book

London. 1894. 'I am not a detective, chief constable.' 'No, but you are a poet, a freemason and man of the world. All useful qualifications for the business at hand.' So says Police Chief Macnaghten to Oscar Wilde, in a Chelsea drawing room in the company of Arthur Conan Doyle. The business for which they are gathered to discuss in none other than the case of Jack the Ripper, the most famous murderer in England. And thus the three men embark to solve one of the world's most famous mysteries - the ultimate truth about the identity of Jack the Ripper. Case Closed is Arthur Conan Doyle's account of the events of 1894, the year of the return of Jack the Ripper. Based on Oscar Wilde's real-life friendship with Arthur Conan Doyle and the extraordinary but little-known fact that in 1894 the detective in charge of the Jack the Ripper investigations was Oscar Wilde's neighbour in Tite Street, Chelsea. A gripping detective story, Brandreth recreates Oscar Wilde's trademark sardonic wit in Case Closed, intertwining all the intrigue of the classic English murder mystery with a compelling portrait of one of the greatest characters of the Victorian age.
