The Bookshop at the End of the internet interviews George R. Dekle, author of The East River Ripper: The Mysterious 1891 Murder of Old Shakespeare.
“Author George R. Dekle, Sr. discusses his latest true-crime book, The East River Ripper: The Mysterious 1891 Murder of Old Shakespeare. Shortly after Jack the Ripper terrorized London, New York City had its own Ripper-like murder—that of Carrie Brown, a prostitute who went by the name of Old Shakespeare.

Was it really Jack the Ripper?”
