NAMING JACK THE RIPPER: NEW CRIME SCENE EVIDENCE, A STUNNING FORENSIC BREAKTHROUGH, THE KILLER REVEALED
Book ID/图书代码： 08136014B73080
English Summary/英文概要： Bringing together ground-breaking forensic discoveries - including vital DNA evidence - and gripping historical detective work, Naming Jack the Ripper constructs the first truly convincing case for identifying the world’s most notorious serial killer.
In 2007, businessman Russell Edwards bought a shawl believed to have been left beside the body of the fourth victim, Catherine Eddowes. He knew that, if genuine, the shawl would be the only piece of crime scene evidence still in existence. It was the start of an extraordinary seven-year quest for Russell as he sought to authenticate the shawl and learn its secrets. He had no idea that this journey would take him so far.
After undergoing extensive forensic testing by one of the country’s top scientists, the shawl was not only shown to be genuine, and stained with Catherine Eddowes’ blood, but in a massive breakthrough the killer’s DNA was also discovered - DNA that would allow Russell to finally put a name to Jack the Ripper . . .

百年懸案偵破！各大報紙爭相報導
英國史上最殘忍的連續殺人兇手「開膛手傑克」，經由現代科技DNA分析比對，確認兇手為波蘭裔理髮師科斯米斯基(Aaron Kosminski)，使得高懸126年無法破解的案子終於真相大白。
2007年，商人拉塞爾(Russell Edwards)從拍賣會上買下一條絲巾，這條絲巾宣稱是屬於開膛手傑克第四名被害人凱薩琳．愛道斯(Catherine Eddowes)。拉塞爾為了確定此絲巾為凱薩琳所有，請到英國頂尖的基因鑑識專家魯赫拉南(Jari Louhelainen)著手進行鑑識科學調查， 最後不但證明這條絲巾屬於被害人，更在絲巾上找到兇手的DNA，鎖定科斯米斯基就是開膛手傑克。
此書為拉塞爾本人親著，記錄他買下絲巾，與專家一起展開調查，採集到兇手DNA的過程。讓讀者隨著拉塞爾的腳步，循線檢視1888年發生的連環兇案。
科斯米斯基是誰？他和被害人有什麼關係？為何當時警方已找到關鍵證人卻又釋放科斯米斯基？被害人的絲巾透漏了什麼訊息？拉塞爾與魯赫拉南以史料與鑑識科學回答這些問題，讓這樁歷史懸案得以結案。
