"The police investigation uncovered some disturbing details. The accused was a small dark-haired man who was known to have been violent towards women. He had been born and brought up in the Midlands but had moved to the East End of London in the late autumn of 1887. On 21 January 1889, he and his wife travelled by boat to Dundee. This meant that he had arrived in London before the start of the Jack the Ripper murders and had left around the same time that they ceased. Could this be coincidence, people wondered? Could it also be a coincidence that the murder in Dundee carried all the hallmarks of a 'ripper' murder? In the month before the trial, the local newspapers in Dundee began to run sensational stories linking the accused with the notorious Whitechapel murders. When the trial opened to a packed courtroom, many in the public gallery were wondering if the man standing in the dock was none other than Jack the Ripper himself. In this sensational and groundbreaking book, Euan Macpherson presents the evidence that the long arm of the law really did catch up with Jack the Ripper . . . in a dingy basement flat in Dundee in the cold winter months of early 1889.

While Macpherson's book gives some interesting insights into Bury's life (and gives a good account of his time in Dundee and his trial) it fails to provide any concrete evidence that Bury was the Ripper.
An interesting read none the less. ( )
