Louisiana native Rory Deveaux expected things to be different in London. What she wasn’t expecting was to step off the plane to Ripper-mania. Brutal murders are being committed around the city, and it’s as though Jack the Ripper himself has risen from the dead to commit them. When the murderer strikes close to home, Rory finds herself drawn into a web of secret organizations and ghostly happenings—and more intrigue than she, or her fellow boarding school students, ever expected. This book’s crackling plot and shocking ending will have you waiting for the next installment in the “Shades of London” series.
