Jack el Destripador, el mito equivocado

In late 1888, a new breed of criminal emerged among the bleak and unsanitary streets of London's Whitechapel. A murderer capable of attacking his victims in the middle of the street and escaping, again and again, before the impotent gaze of the authorities. Nicknamed Jack the Ripper, the myth surrounding his figure has only increased since then, making him a true cultural icon. But who really was Jack the Ripper? Countless investigations have tried to unravel this mystery, with more or less success, since the very day the crimes occurred. However, the true identity of Jack the Ripper continues to elude the shadows more than a century later. Now, the writer Juan Carlos Boíza enters into a new investigation, free of prejudices and completely different from those carried out until now. Returning to the original police files, examining witness statements and real evidence, the facts are exposed as they happened, without judging or disagreeing. In this way, he allows the answer to what happened to emerge on its own, accepting it however improbable it may seem a priori. The result is the discovery of an account of events diametrically opposed to the usual mythology about Jack the Ripper. A story of women, buried under prejudices of all kinds, which uncovers a reality of poverty, despair and misery. A story where the real identity, hidden behind the myth of Jack the Ripper, is not only completely unexpected, but also deeply disturbing.
