Inhaltsangabe

The world of Jack the Ripper comes brilliantly to life in this thriller continuation of The Dr. William Scarlet Mysteries. Scotland Yard medical examiner and psychic Dr. William Scarlet races to stop the murders and mutilations of London prostitutes and to identify the killer. The shocking novel that reveals the truth about the world's most famous murders! — BOOK #2 OF THE DR. WILLIAM SCARLET TRILOGY.

London, August - November 1888. Welcome to the newest neighborhood of Hell. In London’s East End, prostitutes are being murdered by an unspeakable killer. The women are all found after midnight in backyards, quiet streets, and dark city squares, with their throats slit and some of their organs removed. ‘Jack the Ripper’ has written a taunting letter to the authorities. But the Whitechapel murderer remains as invisible as the night air—his stalking as silent as the screams the murdered women were never able to utter.

Scotland Yard and England’s government are powerless. But police surgeon and psychic Dr. William Scarlet sees a mysterious pattern emerging. Can the origin of the killing spree be much more ancient than anyone realizes? And what is the secret organization the clues keep pointing to? Then another series of murders begins. This time, men are the victims: all killed in ways that defy description. And no one but Scarlet and medium Django Pierce-Jones suspects that the two sets of murders are connected to each other . . . and to dark rites long since abandoned. Or maybe not.

"The novel is threaded with engrossing coverage of the Jack the Ripper murders. . . . The story shines as a procedural, with the author keeping the intrigue at a high by mingling medical and police reports with sharp descriptions of London's murky, claustrophobic streets at night. An unforgettable . . . thriller that continues an exemplary series."
— Kirkus Reviews

"Irresistible. Genard excels in conjuring the darkest alleyways, grisly wounds, and wounded hearts of London's East End, with a doomsday wordplay that will . . . delight."
— BookLife
