Description
Winter 1866: London's East End is gripped by fear as a series of gruesome murders takes place. A trailblazing female physician, Dr. Julia Lewis, and a skeptical Scotland Yard detective are forced to work together to stop the killer.
The investigation begins with the discovery of a local clergyman's body, sexually mutilated and displayed in a manner that suggests a personal vendetta. As more bodies are found with links to the first, the police struggle to understand the killer's dark machinations. The murderer sends taunting letters and tantalizing clues, leading from London's music halls to its grim workhouses and sewers.
But as Dr. Lewis and the detective delve deeper into the case, they realize that the doctor's role has shifted from expert to target. The killer is no impulsive monster, but a calculating opponent determined to see his plan through to its terrifying conclusion.
