Epilogue

The Autumn of Terror Ends

In the autumn of 1888, Whitechapel lay in the grip of unparalleled dread. Five women fell victim to the shadow that stalked the fog-shrouded streets. Then, as abruptly as they had begun, the killings ceased. The killer slipped back into the East End fog, never to be identified.
