Book description
Thrilling ghost-hunting teen mystery as modern-day London is plagued by
a sudden outbreak of brutal murders that mimic the horrific crimes of
Jack the Ripper.
"A gorgeously written, chilling, atmospheric thriller. The streets
of London have never been so sinister or so romantic." Cassandra
Clare, author of THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS
Sixteen-year-old American girl Rory has just arrived at boarding school
in London when a Jack the Ripper copycat-killer begins terrorising the
city. All the hallmarks of his infamous murders are frighteningly
present, but there are few clues to the killer's identity.
“Rippermania” grabs hold of modern-day London, and the police are
stumped with few leads and no witnesses. Except one. In an unknown city
with few friends to turn to, Rory makes a chilling discovery…
Could the copycat murderer really be Jack the Ripper back from the
grave? "A gorgeously written, chilling, atmospheric thriller. The
streets of London have never been so sinister or so romantic."
Cassandra Clare, author of THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS
