Overview

Step into the shadowed streets of Victorian London, where wealth and poverty lived side by side, and where terror once stalked the night. In 1888, the Whitechapel district became the hunting ground of a figure who would enter history under a chilling name: Jack the Ripper. Unsolved Mysteries: Jack the Ripper takes you deep into the fog-shrouded alleys, lodging houses, and marketplaces of the East End. Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, it reveals the social conditions that made Whitechapel both a vibrant community and a dangerous labyrinth. The book explores the lives of the victims, the brutality of the crimes, and the desperate search for answers that gripped the public and baffled investigators. This is not only the story of a killer-it is the story of a city divided by class, overwhelmed by poverty, and haunted by fear. The gaslit streets, the whispers in public houses, the endless speculation in the press-all combine to create an atmosphere of suspense that has endured for more than a century. Who was Jack the Ripper? A surgeon? A sailor? A phantom born of London's darkest corners? The truth has never been uncovered, and the mystery endures. This book invites you to walk those streets, to stand beside the constables, and to hear the voices of the women whose lives were cut short. Perfect for readers of true crime, history, and Victorian-era mysteries, Unsolved Mysteries: Jack the Ripper offers both chilling detail and thoughtful context. It is a journey into one of the most infamous unsolved cases in history-one that still echoes through the fog of London to this day.

Author Information

Mariana Sofia Enríquez, known professionally as M. S. Enigma, grew up in the shadow of Spain's post-Franco era, in a working-class family in Valencia. The Alcàsser Girls case, which unfolded when she was just 14 years old, profoundly impacted her childhood, sparking a lifelong fascination with unsolved crimes and the human stories behind them. She pursued a degree in Journalism and Criminology at the University of Valencia, graduating with honors in 2001. During her studies, she interned at local newspapers, where she honed her skills in investigative reporting. Enríquez later earned a Master's in Forensic Psychology from the Complutense University of Madrid, blending her interests in media and criminal behavior. Her early career involved freelance writing for Spanish true-crime magazines and contributing to documentaries on cold cases, but she adopted the pseudonym ""M. S. Enigma"" in 2005 to protect her privacy amid threats from sources connected to her investigations.
