Description
'You are a poet, a freemason and a man of the world. All useful qualifications for the business in hand.' So says Police Chief Macnaghten to Oscar Wilde, in the company of Arthur Conan Doyle. The business they are gathered to discuss is none other than the ultimate truth about the identity of Jack the Ripper. Case Closed is Arthur Conan Doyle's account of the return of Jack the Ripper. Based on Oscar Wilde's real-life friendship with Conan Doyle and the extraordinary but little-known fact that the detective in charge of the Jack the Ripper investigations was Oscar Wilde's neighbour, this is a compelling portrait of one of the greatest characters of the Victorian age.
