Late one night after interviewing a witness, Lacey Flint, a young detective constable, stumbles onto a woman brutally stabbed just moments before. Within 24 hours a reporter receives an anonymous letter pointing out alarming similarities between the murder and Jack the Ripperβs first, and calling out Lacey by name. If itβs real, and they have a killer bent on recreating Londonβs bloody past, it means they have just five days until the next attempt.
No one believes the connections are anything more than a sadistic killerβs game, not even Lacey, whom the killer seems to be taunting specifically. But the details remind her of a part of her past sheβd rather keep hidden. And the only way to do that is to catch the killer herself.
Fast-paced and riveting, S. J. Boltonβs modern Gothic novel is nothing less than a masterpiece of suspense fiction.
