A classic twist on the idea of Jack the Ripper, excellently written by a master of both horror and the twist story.  Basically, the protagonist John Carmody is a psychiatrist who is approached by a British man who swears he’s figured out the reason why Jack did his killings and believes that it’s been to prolong his life and that he is still killing. By his calculation, the next will be in this town in two days. And the story proceeds from there.
