Suspense
From the gritty streets of nineteenth century London, the
loyal and courageous Dr. Watson offers a tale unearthed
after generations of lore: the harrowing story of Sherlock
Holmes's attempt to hunt down Jack the Ripper. As
England's greatest specialist in criminal detection,
Sherlock Holmes is unwavering in his quest to capture the
killer responsible for terrifying London's East End. He
hires an "unfortunate" known as Mary Ann Monk, the friend of
a fellow streetwalker who was one of the Ripper's earliest
victims; and he relies heavily on the steadfast and devoted
Dr. John H. Watson. When Holmes himself is wounded in
Whitechapel during an attempt to catch the savage monster,
the popular press launches an investigation of its own,
questioning the great detective's role in the very crimes he
is so fervently struggling to prevent. Stripped of his
credibility, Holmes is left with no choice but to break
every rule in the desperate race to find the madman known as
"the Knife" before it is too late. A masterly re-creation
of history's most diabolical villain, Lyndsay Faye's debut
brings unparalleled authenticity to the atmosphere of
Whitechapel and London in the fledgling days of tabloid
journalism and recalls the ideals evinced by Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle's most beloved and world-renowned characters.
Jack the Ripper's identity, still hotly debated around the
world more than a century after his crimes were committed,
remains a mystery ripe for speculation. Dust and Shadow
explores the terrifying prospect of tracking a serial killer
without the advantage of modern forensics, and the result is
a lightning-paced novel brimming with historical detail that
will keep you on the edge of your seat.
