A chronicle of one of the vilest murders in Canadian history. One brilliant October day in 1894, a drifter, carrying a black valise, met thirteen-year-old Jessie Keith on the railroad tracks and slashed her in such a way that people thought Jack the Ripper must have fled London, England, to wander loose in rural Ontario. The Man with the Black Valise traces the killer’s route through three Ontario counties — a trajectory compiled by Detective John Wilson Murray. Though emotions ran feverishly high, the region’s farmers and townsfolk kept their heads to try to bring the killer to justice.
