Russell Edwards, who is married with two children, is a 48 year old
businessman. Originally from Birkenhead,
he now lives in Hertfordshire. He first got to know the Whitechapel area in
London’s East End as a student and about the Ripper story in the early 1990s. Ten years later, Russell started to read
more and more about the case and revisited the area where the murders had
happened. What started as an interest
became, by 2007, a mission to prove the identity of the world’s most famous
murderer. Naming Jack the Ripper
is his first book.
