Sherlock Holmes - 1888 Autumn of Blood: The Thames Torso Murders in the Shadow of Jack the Ripper In the late 19th century, London was gripped by a series of brutal murders that shocked the nation. The victims were women of the night, their bodies mutilated and left to rot in the city's festering alleys. The Metropolitan Police were baffled, and the press was quick to blame them for their inability to catch the killer. As the body count rose, the police were subjected to a barrage of taunting messages from the murderer, who signed off with the pseudonym "Saucy Jack". The public was on edge, and the great detective Sherlock Holmes was seen as the only one who could bring the killer to justice. But was he standing aloof, too caught up in his own investigations to notice the terror unfolding just a few miles away? This is a gripping account of the events of 1888, told from the perspective of Dr John H Watson, who witnessed the horrors firsthand.
