The Man Who Would Be Jack: The Hunt for the Real Ripper with Author David Bullock

Windsor Library

Thursday 22 January 2026, 7pm - 8.30pm.

Join David Bullock at Windsor Library where he presents a compelling theory that may point to the true identity of Jack the Ripper.

In 'The Man Who Would Be Jack', the author re-examines Inspector Race's and the journalists' findings and uncovers startling new evidence to support the idea that Thomas Hayne Cutbush was indeed Jack the Ripper. This is a fresh, exciting detective and whodunnit story that whips along at a cracking pace.
 

Please note this is an event for adults and there will be a bar available on site.

Tickets can be purchased on Eventbrite.
