Not sure if this is a new book. I could swear I read ‘Uncle Jack’ a couple of years ago. The book is utterly unconvincing. Almost as unconvincing as Patricia Cornwell’s atrocious attempt to finger the artist Walter Sickert as Jack.
We’ll never know who he really was.
I'm about half way through her book right now.
Whether Sickert was the Ripper or not, the mutilations the Ripper performed on these women certainly didn't require him being a surgeon.
