Softcover. A Sherlock Holmes novel. The author brings Sherlock Holmes stunningly back to life in this homage to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's greatest creation. Grotesque murders are being committed on the streets of Whitchapel - and Holmes comes to believe the murders are the skillful work of one man, a man who earns the gruesome epithet of Jack the Ripper. As the investigation progresses, Holmes realises that the true identity of the Ripper puts much more at stake than merely catching a killer - the most fundamental British institutions may very well be threatened. 395pp. 8vo softcover.
