From Mary Nicholls to Elizabeth Stride, their lives tragically cut short, their stories forever etched in history. The graphic illustrations transport us back to a time when Whitechapel was gripped by fear. Revolting and mysterious murders send shockwaves through society as investigators desperately seek clues to capture this elusive killer. Will justice prevail? The answer remains uncertain. Amidst these chilling tales, other tragedies unfold before our eyes. The dreadful suicide from The Monument leaves us pondering the depths of despair that can consume a person's soul.

Inquests become windows into human suffering and loss as Harriet Staunton's case unfolds before an attentive audience. A coroner meticulously examines every detail surrounding her death, seeking answers for those left behind. But not all they are born out of criminal acts; some arise from catastrophic events like the Disastrous Fire at Forest Gate District School. Grieving relatives gather solemnly at the inquiry, seeking solace amidst unimaginable pain.
