I just finished the video game dlc for Assassin's Creed Syndicate about Jack the Ripper...there is a historic element to those games where u can read about the people and events from whatever time frame they ate targeting....in the case of ACS it was 1988 Victorian London...I was never really interested in the ripper case previously but after completing it I was compelled to buy a book on the subject called "The Complete Jack the Ripper", by Philip Sugden...it seems to be one of the more recommended books about the subject. It's supposed to arrive Monday.

I did some research about the ripper online and one mentioned as a possible suspect was late 1900's, Chicago mass murderer, HH Holmes...so I watched a documentary about him on Netflix...he was a fucked up dude too.

I also watched a documentary and a film about a Mob Hitman called "The Iceman"...another scary guy

In the thread we have on "Making a Murderer", which I also just finished watching, James had mentioned documentaries...so I thought maybe a thread on the subject might be something to explore

Does anyone have suggestions on books to read and/or docs to watch about some notorious criminals in history?

Or if anyone wants to discuss the ones I have mentioned above
