The result is a book which is as original as it is enthralling. Toughill suggests that Jack the Ripper was a former "friend" of Oscar Wilde and that Wilde dropped hints about this in several of his works, most notably The Picture of Dorian Gray, which Wilde wrote in 1889, the year after the Ripper murders took place. In fascinating detail, the author argues that Wilde's story, that of a privileged man whose life of vice in the East End of London turns him into a murderer, is in fact a coded message about the Ripper's identity. The Ripper Code is not just a fascinating voyage through the writings of Oscar Wilde , however; it is also a striking example of original detective work. Here, as in his previous books, Toughill unveils stunning evidence from a hitherto untapped source and uses it to devastating effect in arguing his case. 538 System requirements: Adobe Digital editions. 588 0 Print version record. 600 00 Jack,|cthe Ripper. 600 00 Jack,|cthe Ripper|xIn literature. 600 10 Wilde, Oscar,|d1854-1900|xFriends and associates. 600 10 Wilde, Oscar,|d1854-1900.|tPicture of Dorian Gray. 650 0 Serial murders|zEngland|zLondon|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Serial murderers|zEngland|zLondon|xIdentification. 650 7 TRUE CRIME / Murder / Serial Killers.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 710 2 Freading. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aToughill, Thomas.|tRipper code.|dStroud, Gloucestershire : Sutton Pub., 2008.|z9780750948753 |w(DLC)2008426528 856 40 |3Freading|uhttp://ocls.freading.com/ebooks/details/r: download/OTc4MDc1MjQ4NzE3NQ==|zDownload this title to your computer or mobile device using Freading!
