I welcome former Scotland Yard Detective Inspector Steven Keogh back to the show in this interview episode to discuss his second book, 'Murder Investigation Team: Jack the Ripper: A 21st Century Investigation.'
In it, Steve applies modern-day investigative approaches to the 19th-century investigation through meticulous contemporary research, witness statements and reporting. He provides a fresh, new assessment of the unsolved Whitechapel murders from a modern-day policing perspective.
Steve revisits the crimes committed, why the lives of innocent people were taken, and attempts to discover just who was 'Jack the Ripper.'
With ground-breaking insight from one of the UK's leading criminal profilers, Pippa Gregory, the book takes the reader on a gruesome and incredible journey of discovery into one of the most infamous crimes in British history.
The book was released on July 20, 2023, and is available to purchase here:
