Anyone know of a good book detailing the Jack the Ripper murders? I need something that includes Whitechapel geographical information, and a time line for the killings. The more detail the better. Thanks.

I hope you die soon. Painfully.
I read most of the theories about the person behind the Whitechapel murders and I would put my money on Tumblety as being the most likely suspect.
Just out of curiosity, why Tumblety? PM me if you prefer.
The Truth is we will never know who was the Whitechaple murderer.
To me the most relabel research that has been done so far is from P C Stewart Evans.He was given access to the original case notes and police note books .
He concluded that the police believed ,at the time of the murders,that Tumblety was a strong suspect.Evens also researched Tumbled life and concluded that they were right to believe it was him.
More recently Chanel four commission a documentary about the murders.Using criminal profilers and psychologists to examine the known facts, Tumblety was again named as the main suspect.
So,of all the suspect it's Tumblelety that has been constantly named by the professionals.
Quite true, which it is much fun to speculate and debate the options. Even to create options of our own.
I believe you mean "reliable" research. And you are aware that the vast majority of those original evidence and notes were destroyed in the world wars, lost in the storage moves or were stolen by individuals simply because they were in the Ripper files, right? What any modern person can inspect is crumbs.Yet another reason why so much speculation is rampant and arguments can get fierce.
You are absolutely right, to point out my spelling mistake.As for the other stuff ,your right there as well. The same point was made by Evans in this interesting interview you can read at
www.casebook.org Unfortunately I could not get the link to work,so if you go to casebook. org ,then authors,then interviews and finally click on Stewart Evans .
Read Alan Moore's From Hell, but make sure to ignore the awful film adaptation. There's a list of useful references in his book.

Myself, I lean towards Kosminski.
Kosminski,alias George Chapman ,was hanged in 1903 for poisoning his Three wives.It's true Kosminski was suspected of the Whitechaple murders,at the time ,but it is now consider unlikely.Most mass murderers stick to the same technique.

You're thinking of Klosowski. This is of course complicated by the numerous different spellings of Kosminski and Klosowski, not to mention Chapman. I'm talking about Aaron Kosminski, the Polish Jew who was confined by his family because of his violent tendencies, and eventually died in a mental hospital.
