The Five - The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper - Grand Format

Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary-Jane are famous for the same thing, though they never met. They came from Fleet Street, Knightsbridge, Wolverhampton, Sweden and Wales.

In this devastating narrative of five lives, historian Hallie Rubenhold finally gives these women back their stories.
