About this listen

London, 1888. The city is gripped by fear as Jack the Ripper roams the streets of Whitechapel. But there's another madman on the loose, and the River Thames is his playground.

The identity of The Thames Torso Killer has remained a mystery for nearly 140 years, but author Sarah Bax Horton believes she has found the culprit. Sarah began researching the case in honour of her great grandfather - Harry Garrett - who was a police sergeant in Whitechapel at the time of the murders.

Join us for a story of mass hysteria and murderous bargemen as we try to nail down The Killer on the Water.

Sarah Bax Horton's book, Arm of Eve is available now from Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Arm-Eve-Investigating-Thames-Killer/dp/1803997486
