Setting and Crime

New York City. 1891. A woman has been found viciously murdered on the top floor of a decrepit Lower East Side hotel.

The signs indicate that the murder might have been perpetrated by none other than London's infamous Whitechapel killer, Jack the Ripper, and the city is frozen in histrionic fear until the police finally catch the killer—a French Algerian sailor.

Plot and Investigation

Or did they? When more bodies show up, young police detective Robert Falconer must team up with an eclectic band of sleuths to track down a shadowy figure whom they believe is the true killer and who just might be...the Ripper.
