Sarah Bax Horton

Sarah Bax Horton is an award-winning true crime writer based in London. Fascinated by genealogy, her discovery of a Whitechapel ‘H Division’ police ancestor inspired her re-examination of the Jack the Ripper case in One-Armed Jack: Uncovering the Real Jack the Ripper (Michael O’Mara Books, 2023).

Her current 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. It is featured in Lucy Worsley’s Victorian Murder Club (now on BBC iPlayer).
