Arm of Eve: Investigating the Thames Torso Murders
Thursday 23rd April 2026, 18:30 (doors open 18:15)
Join us for an evening with Sarah Bax Horton, an award-winning true crime writer with a genealogical connection that drew her into the world of Ripperology. Sarah will be discussing her latest book, Arm of Eve, in which she upends the assumption that Jack the Ripper was the first modern serial killer on the streets of London. Before him was another murderer who hunted from the River Thames – one arguably more sadistic and mercurial – who has always lurked in the Ripper’s shadow.
In this talk, Sarah discusses her own investigation and how she used modern criminal profiling to come up with her own suspect – a known criminal who knew the Thames like the back of his hand. She also gives a behind-the-scenes insight into her involvement in the BBC’s recent three-part documentary series, Lucy Worsley’s Victorian Murder Club.
Sarah Bax Horton is an award-winning true crime writer whose great-great grandfather was a Metropolitan police officer in Whitechapel’s ‘H’ Division. Her book Arm of Eve: Investigating the Thames Torso Murders (The History Press, 2024) won the ‘Ripperology Books And More’ Book of the Year award in 2024.
Booking essential as places are limited.
Timings: doors open at 18:15 and entry before then will be refused. The talk begins at 18:30 and lasts approximately 60 minutes, including a Q&A with the audience.
