Conan Doyle and Jack the Ripper. Women Killers

The criminal history of humanity is rich in unresolved mysteries. High-profile crimes, which at one time the best minds of the investigation struggled with in vain, continue to captivate the imagination of fans of the detective genre even after years,... decades, and sometimes centuries. Should it be surprising: stories of real crimes can sometimes be so convoluted and thrilling that they can rival the sophisticated fantasies of recognized masters of detective fiction.
This collection includes two documentary investigative novellas by historian and writer Igor Mozheiko, known by the pen name Kir Bulychev: «Conan Doyle and Jack the Ripper» and «Women Killers». In the masterful retelling by Kir Bulychev, the most notorious crimes of the past, reconstructed from scant documentary evidence and stripped of dubious conjectures, are presented engagingly and vividly, as if in a detective film.
