Edgar's Guide to Jack the Ripper's East End is the ultimate tour around the sites of the infamous Whitechapel Murders.
It enables you to visit all but one of the eleven murder sites, and delve deeper into the backstreets of Spitalfields and Whitechapel than you would ever think possible.
In so doing you will see much more of the real East End, and venture into places that have changed little, if at all, since the Ripper prowled their shadows.
But the book also features evocative Victorian photographs that show many of the locations as they were at the times of the murders. In other words, you will be, quite literally, transported back in time to that long-ago era of gaslight and shadow.
But Edgar's is far, far more than a standard guide book. It will unlock so many secrets of the East End. From atmospheric old streets, lined with picturesque cottages that have, somehow, survived the march of time and progress, to stately churches that tower over their neighborhoods, just as they did in 1888.
From timeless pubs in which the victims - and possibly even Jack the Ripper himself - drank, to Victorian music halls, lesser-known museums, and even a 19th century mortuary to which the bodies of two Whitechapel murders victims were taken in the aftermath of their murders, as well as the venues whose walls bore silent witness to the evidence given at the inquests into their deaths
But this is not just a traditional guide book; this is a full history of the Whitechapel murders.
As you make your way around the route, you will be learning more of the story with every step taken, uncovering the fascinating story in the streets and at the very locations where it unfolded.
Indeed, the history contained in this 200-page book is so detailed, that you can enjoy it without even venturing out to take the tour, making it the perfect addition to the library of the most ardent armchair detective.
Another first offered by this Edgar's Guide is a separate tour - done by bus, train and Underground - that allows you to visit the graves of the five 'canonical' victims - Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Kelly.
No other guidebook offers you this poignant opportunity.
So, if you would like to learn the full story of the crimes that shook Victorian society to the core, whilst, at the same time, visiting the streets and buildings that formed the backcloth against which the Jack the Ripper saga was played out, then let this book be your companion, and join Edgar for an unforgettable experience that will chill and thrill you in equal measure.
