Investigating Charles Lechmere: Was He Jack the Ripper? takes readers on a journey back to the autumn of 1888, when the streets of London were gripped by fear as Jack the Ripper stalked his victims. Amidst the fog of history and speculation, one new name comes to light in this investigation: Charles Lechmere.

A carman who discovered the body of Mary Ann Nichols on his way to work, Lechmere gave his name as Cross at the inquest of her death, and had various inconsistencies in his testimony. In this book, Neil Norman discusses the case for this overlooked suspect as the infamous Ripper, along with the victims, their deaths, and other suspects.

This book is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the enigma of Jack the Ripper but also by Victorian society itself. With hundreds of suspects put forward over the decades, could the Ripper have been hiding in plain sight all along?

About Neil Norman

Neil R. Norman was born in 1972 in Ipswich, Suffolk, where he grew up with a fascination and passion for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his Sherlock Holmes mysteries. This is where the seeds were sown for him to undertake the solving of crimes from the Victorian and Edwardian periods.


With an enthusiasm for solving cases that have laid buried within police vaults for over a century, he has turned his hand to modern day sleuthing, using twenty-first century methods to investigate the interesting and now largely forgotten true crime cases in Britain's history.
