Summary of Patricia Cornwell's Ripper - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On August 6, 1888, London was a carnival of wondrous things to do for as little as pennies if one could spare a few. The bells of Windsor's Parish Church and St. George's Chapel rang all day. Ships were dressed in flags. #2 Walter Sickert was a master of greasepaint and wardrobe. He was able to completely transform himself into someone else, and he was known for his bizarre hairstyles and clothing. #3 Sickert was a graphomaniac, and he would write so many articles for newspapers and journals that he would apologize to whoever he submitted them to.
He would seek out major celebrities of the day, and would even spy on them. #4 It is believed that Sickert was in London in the summer and fall of 1888, when the Ripper began his bloody crimes. However, this is not true. He could not have murdered anyone if he were someplace else.
