About the book
A dark and chilling scene of homicide in the streets of Victorian London.
In the year 1897, the bustling city of London is left in disbelief upon hearing the news of a woman's body discovered at the prestigious National Gallery. She had been gruesomely disemboweled in a manner that bore a striking resemblance to the infamous crimes of Jack the Ripper.
Daniel Wilson and Abigail Fenton receive a summons from the gallery's curator seeking their expertise in the matter. The victim, a model for artists and a prostitute, had connections to painter Walter Sickert, who was previously suspected in the Ripper case. Despite Scotland Yard apprehending Sickert as a suspect in this latest murder, more deaths follow.
Copycat killings mirroring those of the Ripper point fingers at the controversial artist, but Sickert vehemently denies any involvement. The question arises: who is setting him up? Determined to catch a clever and elusive killer, Wilson and Fenton have their work cut out for them.
