Author: Philip Sugden
Context:
Referred to throughout the series as 'really the definitive survey of the case,' with multiple direct quotes from Sugden about the quest for the identity of Jack the Ripper and the assumption that the killer was a local man.
Author: Stephen Knight
Context:
Described as 'perhaps the single most notorious book ever written about Jack the Ripper,' presenting a conspiracy theory involving Prince Albert Victor, Walter Sickert, and the Freemasons. Compared to Graham Hancock or Eric von Daniken in terms of disproportionate impact relative to plausibility.
Author: Alan Moore
Context:
Mentioned as the comic book (animated novel) by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell that was adapted into the 2001 Johnny Depp film, and was inspired by Stephen Knight's conspiracy theory about Jack the Ripper.
