From Casebook's review of Chris's first Ripper related work :
Anyone who's followed the latest Ripper research knows the name Chris Scott. For the past several years he has contributed countless contemporary press reports and other historical tidbits to the Casebook and to Ripperologist magazine. He's spent literally hundreds, if not thousands, of hours combing through press archives, census records and the like, and many of his discoveries are compiled into the eBook, Jack the Ripper: A Cast of Thousands.
The writing style is casual, and Chris makes sure not just to relate what he's found, but how he found it, and where. Budding researchers will learn a great deal from his sources and methods.
*********************************
Chris Scott is the prime reason I spend as much time as I do reading and re-reading newspaper accounts of the times and crimes of Jack The Ripper and the Whitechapel Murders.
For those who have just joined JTRForums, are starting out in the field, or merely passing through here, here are the covers of Chris's three Case related works and his recent fiction work.
Stephen Ryder has graciously provided the entire text of Chris's first work on Casebook for one and all.
In order of publication :
Cast Of Thousands
Will The Real Mary Kelly........? ( Second edition cover shown)
The Ripper In Ramsgate
and Chris's latest release, The King Sword
