"I really enjoyed it. Most entertaining and showed a great insight into 'Ripperworld' - a strange and unique place." Stewart P. Evans (author, "Jack the Ripper: Letters From Hell" and "The Ultimate Jack the Ripper Companion")

Famous mystery novelist Barbara Thomas -- who has once again topped the best-seller lists, this time with a new, nonfiction book she claims reveals, once and for all, the true identity of Jack the Ripper -- is paired with legendary Ripperologist Henry McHugh, a renowned and beloved expert in the field.

Brought together by an eager police detective, the two rivals must put aside their differences long enough to piece together the identity of a killer who has ingeniously recreated Jack the Ripper's first murder -- and looks to be well on his way to re-committing the next four.

With wit and suspense -- and set against the backdrop of the fascinating subculture of Ripperologists -- the story takes equal stabs at the disparate worlds of publishing, Ripper studies, fan conventions, and Internet chatrooms, as our two unlikely heroes employ their (often contrary) knowledge of a 120-year-old phantom to hunt down a modern killer.

Follow in Jack the Ripper's footsteps on a tour that explores the streets and alleyways where the murders occurred.
