Desperate to find a case to justify the team's existence,
with budget cuts and a police strike on the horizon, Quill
thinks he's struck gold when a cabinet minister is murdered
by an assailant who wasn't seen getting in or out of his
limo. A second murder, that of the Commissioner of the
Metropolitan Police, presents a crime scene with a
message...identical to that left by the original Jack the
Ripper. The new Ripper seems to have changed the MO of the old
completely: he's only killing rich white men. The inquiry
into just what this supernatural menace is takes Quill and
his team into the corridors of power at Whitehall, to
meetings with MI5, or 'the funny people' as the Met call
them, and into the London occult underworld. They go
undercover to a pub with a regular evening that caters to
that clientele, and to an auction of objects of power at the
Tate Modern. Meanwhile, in Paul Cornell's The Severed Streets, the Ripper
keeps on killing and finally the pattern of those killings
gives Quill's team clues towards who's really doing this....
