WHAT'S YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE?
She can't stop shivering. But this isn't cold. This is terror.
A savage murder on London's streets, 120 years to the day since Jack the Ripper claimed his first victim. A crime with all the hallmarks of a copycat killer.
Detective Constable Lacey Flint has never worked a murder case, until now. When another mutilated victim is found she agrees to be the bait to lure out the monster.
But this killer is one step ahead, and already fixated on Lacey...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bolton's fourth thriller, a complex psychological puzzler, stands head and shoulders above other such efforts featuring a modern copycat Jack the Ripper. On the anniversary of the original Ripper's first killing, Det. Constable Lacey Flint is horrified to find a dying woman, "her abdomen... a mass of scarlet," leaning against the detective's car in a London car park. The guilt-ridden Flint wonders whether different actions on her part might have saved the victim's life or caught the killer. The connection with the 1888 autumn of terror becomes clear after a journalist receives a letter obviously derived from some of the correspondence Scotland Yard received back then, ostensibly from the Ripper himself. By coincidence, Flint is something of a Ripper expert, and her knowledge proves useful in what develops into a multiple murder investigation. Avoiding gratuitous violence, Bolton (Blood Harvest) skillfully plays with the reader's expectations. Minette Walters fan will be pleased.

Great read
This is a great read, I couldn't put it down. Fast paced and engaging. Now I have to buy the rest of the series to find out what happens to The main character.
Engaging read!
I'm a diehard Agatha Christie fan, and only Minette Walters have ever impressed me among the new bunch of psychological crime fiction writers. Sarah Bolton is a wonderful revelation. Highly enjoyable, complex and unexpected psychological thrill is what you get delving deeper into her Lacey Flint mysteries. In this first book, we discover the intriguing mystery of a series of Ripper-style murders in modern day London, experienced in first voice through Lacey Flint, a young police offer cadet with a murky past.
Engagingly crafted, this book will have you wondering right up to the end.
