Jack the Ripper’s Assassins: The Explosive True Story Passed Down for 150 Years—Now Revealed for the First Time For over a century, the truth was never written—only whispered around fires, handed from grandfather to grandson. Until now. This is not fiction. This is the meticulously researched, true story of the Dighton family—a Romani lineage with Viking blood—whose hidden existence in Victorian England unknowingly entangled them in one of the darkest chapters of British history. The narrative you'll discover is based on the extraordinary confessions of Henry (Togo) Dighton, passed down to his grandson, Keith Dighton. While the author has artfully woven in dialogue and expanded upon smaller events to create a more immersive and compelling reading experience, the core of this saga is a true account. Years of extensive research have fact-checked and enriched this incredible family history, grounding it firmly within its historical context. "Jack the Ripper's Assassins" unveils how this remarkable family—masters of deception, fortune-telling, and infiltration—were manipulated as pawns in the brutal Whitechapel murders. At the heart of the story are Andrew and Caroline Dighton: a formidable bare-knuckle fighter and his brilliant wife. Their journey from Romani camps to the fringes of high society saw them charming nobles, swindling the wealthy, and moving with an almost invisible grace among England’s most powerful figures. But when a mysterious benefactor offers them a substantial fortune to control alleyways, block exits, and sow confusion among the police, they realize too late that their unique talents are being exploited to assist a killer they cannot control. Behind the fog and glamour of Victorian London lies: A secret Romani dynasty thriving between two worlds, their story meticulously researched and fact-checked. - How the Dightons' elaborate cons and clandestine operations drew them into the horrors of Whitechapel. - The shadowy royal client who orchestrated both elegance and evil, a figure brought to light through diligent historical investigation. - A family’s desperate fight for survival after uncovering the monstrous truth behind their employers. The story, hidden in plain sight and preserved within the Dighton bloodline—until now. “Jack the Ripper’s Assassins” is a true story of deception, loyalty, survival—and the horrifying price of being too good at staying invisible. From the Battle of Hastings to the streets of London, from Romani wagons to palace halls, this is the untold story of a family who served no master… and paid dearly for it. "Fortune Favours the Free"—but freedom comes at a profound price.
