1889, LONDON. JACK THE RIPPER’S REIGN OF TERROR IN FINALLY
OVER, BUT A NEW ONE IS JUST BEGINNING. Victorian London—a
violent cesspool of squalid depravity. Only twelve
detectives—The Murder Squad—are expected to solve the
thousands of crimes committed here each month. Formed after
the Metropolitan Police’s spectacular failure in capturing
Jack the Ripper, the Murder Squad suffers the brunt of
public contempt. But no one can anticipate the brutal murder
of one of their own… A Scotland Yard Inspector has been
found stuffed in a black steamer trunk at Euston Square
Station, his eyes and mouth sewn shut. When Walter Day, the
squad’s new hire, is assigned to the case, he finds a
strange ally in Dr. Bernard Kingsley, the Yard’s first
forensic pathologist. Their grim conclusion: this was not
just a random, bizarre murder but in all probability, the
first of twelve. Because the squad itself it being targeted
and the devious killer shows no signs of stopping before
completing his grim duty. But Inspector Day has one more
surprise, something even more shocking than the crimes: the
killer’s motive.
