The story

What Is The Ripper About?

The premise of The Ripper without spoilers.

Between 1975 and 1980 a wave of murders terrorized Yorkshire, as the Yorkshire Ripper claimed thirteen female victims across the North of England. Police investigations repeatedly failed to apprehend the killer, leaving the community in fear; every man became a suspect and safety seemed impossible.
