Jack the Ripper and Abraham Lincoln

Jack the Ripper and Abraham Lincoln

By Tony McMahon

Genre:-Non Fiction/Historical/Crime

Pages:330

Publisher:-Troubadour

Blurb:-An astonishing connection between two of the 19th century's greatest crimes.

 A fraudulent doctor, Francis Tumblety, is implicates in both the 1865 assassination of President Abraham Lincoln and the 1888 Jack the Ripper killings. It seems incredible that Jack the Ripper could have been involved in killing President Lincoln, but the evidence is revealed in this book.

 We delve into a murky underworld in America's Gilded Age and the poverty ridden slums of London's Whitechapel district following the murderous trail left by Tumblety. A flamboyant huckster, well known in the newspaper gossip columns, whose celebrity masked his homicidal tendencies.

 Arrested over the Lincoln assassination then released while others were hanged on the scaffold. Put behind bars briefly by Scotland over the Jack the Ripper killings but then makes a daring escape. The proof is overwhelming that Tumblety was one of the most dangerous criminals of the 19th century.

My Review:-I wasn't sure really what to expect for Jack the Ripper and Abraham Lincoln by Tony McMahon. I have read a few books about Jack the Ripper and I remember read one about Abraham Lincoln at school, but this one was totally different. I have to say I found this book interesting, with things that were new to me. I did like finding out a bit more about Dr. Francis Tumblety, who was a quack and a fake Indian herbalist. Even though he was first suspected of the murders in Whitechapel District, London, another murder happened while he was in New York s they took him off the list of suspects. This book does show evidence that there was a connection to both cases, but there is other evidence that says different. If you like history and past murders, I would recommend giving this book a read.
