Portrait of a Killer - Jack the Ripper: Case Closed is a 2002 non-fiction book by crime novelist Patricia Cornwell which presents the theory that British painter Walter Sickert was the 19th-century serial killer known as Jack the Ripper. Sickert had previously been suggested as being the Ripper in a book by Jean Overton-Fuller and as an accomplice to the murders by author Stephen Knight, facts which are not included in her book.
