Isabel Allende—the New York Times bestselling
author whose books, including Maya’s Notebook, Island
Beneath the Sea, and Zorro, have sold more
than 57 million copies around the world—demonstrates her
remarkable literary versatility with Ripper, an
atmospheric, fast-paced mystery involving a brilliant
teenage sleuth who must unmask a serial killer in San
Francisco.
The Jackson women, Indiana and Amanda, have
always had each other. Yet, while their bond is strong,
mother and daughter are as different as night and day.
Indiana, a beautiful holistic healer, is a free-spirited
bohemian. Long divorced from Amanda’s father, she’s
reluctant to settle down with either of the men who want
her—Alan, the wealthy scion of one of San Francisco’s elite
families, and Ryan, an enigmatic, scarred former Navy
SEAL.
While her mom looks for the good in people,
Amanda is fascinated by the dark side of human nature, like
her father, the SFPD’s Deputy Chief of Homicide. Brilliant
and introverted, the MIT-bound high school senior is a
natural-born sleuth addicted to crime novels and Ripper, the
online mystery game she plays with her beloved grandfather
and friends around the world.
When a string of strange
murders occurs across the city, Amanda plunges into her own
investigation, discovering, before the police do, that the
deaths may be connected. But the case becomes all too
personal when Indiana suddenly vanishes. Could her mother’s
disappearance be linked to the serial killer? Now, with her
mother’s life on the line, the young detective must solve
the most complex mystery she’s ever faced before it’s too
late.
