Dr. Gabriel Pombo has been kind enough to send along a copy of his new non-fiction book, La Leyenda de Jack el Destripado. This is, as far as I know, the first and only non-fiction Jack the Ripper title ever to be published in Uruguay. Unfortunately I’m not fluent in Spanish so all I can offer is that it has about 260 pages, several black and white illustrations, and comes with a nifty bookmark. (A quick flip-through found chapters devoted to Sickert and Maybrick, as well as several other suspects.)

Richard Stephenson, Robert D’Onston Stephenson was the Vice Consul to Uruguay for several years, just another little coincidence!
The book looks good but the only Spanish I know is learnt from “Dora the Explorer”!!
