Jack The Ripper historian, author of The Complete Jack The Ripper: A to Z
"Stephen Senise's recently-published book is quite fascinating. It brings some fresh perspectives to bear and some really interesting insights. The fact that it is so very well written is an added bonus. Wholeheartedly recommended. One of the very best Ripper books in recent years."

"Stephen Senise's ...newly published study of the case, offers the most important clue not just as to whodunit, but why." THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
"Senise writes very well, which is a real bonus, and his book is very well researched. Senise's intelligently-crafted book ...is one you should read for the portrait he paints of the beneath-the-surface anti-Jewish or anti-immigrant East End. Recommended."

"a vivid picture of London before the turn of the last century ...Senise has laid out significant evidence that the murderer who set London's nerves on edge, headed Down Under." AMI MAGAZINE, New York
"I must say that I like Senise's idea that Jack the Ripper could have taken advantage of the crew shortages caused by the 1889 Dock Strike to obtain a no-questions-asked passage on a ship to Australia."

Did Jack The Ripper flee London for the colony of New South Wales at the height of the world's most notorious serial-murder rampage? Was the deadly attack on Alice McKenzie in 1889 his last bid in pursuit of what was, not just a brazen killing spree, but a macabre, politically motivated publicity stunt? Is it conceivable that a maniac took it upon himself to try and shut down the flow of Jewish refugees spilling into London's East End, just as the area was being thrust into the political spotlight?
Journalist Stephen Senise, explores these questions and the neighbourhoods of old Whitechapel to discover that by February 1888 community tensions were so high that two parliamentary select committees of investigation were dispatched to advise the House of Commons and the House of Lords on the social and industrial tensions tearing a community apart. Enter an opportunist hell-bent on broadcasting a hateful message... a madman, ready to unleash an 'Autumn of Terror'.
