Publisher Description
A paranormal mystery spin-off of the Krewe of Hunters series by bestselling author Heather Graham.
When serial killers run rampant across Europe it’s up to Blackbird, the Krewe of Hunters’ international operatives, to stop them.
Over a century after Jack, a new Ripper is on the loose.
Following in the footsteps of notorious serial murderer Jack the Ripper, a killer is stalking the streets of London. The self-dubbed Ripper King strikes at night, leaving a trail of eviscerated bodies in his wake. Fresh off a case with potential ties to the recent rash of killings, FBI agents Della Hamilton and Mason Carter are all too familiar with a slayer set to rule with a lethal fist. And they’ll stop at nothing to end his reign.
The killer’s MO may be nothing new, but his desire to be infamous makes him dangerous. Della and Mason know it’s only a matter of time before their investigation emboldens this new Ripper, forcing the agents to work quickly before another woman winds up dead. But now that the heat is on, their game of cat and mouse takes an unexpected turn, leading Della and Mason into a deadly trap they never saw coming…

Customer Reviews
Slightly disappointed
Not the usual Heather Graham quality. The story doesn’t seem to flow and there is a lot of repetition and inconsistencies. One character, Jon Wilhelm, is dropped. In the third chapter it says he will join the team in London but he is not mentioned again. Edmund Taylor is occasionally called Edward and he age changes from 40’s to 30’s.
Disappointed
This book was a total disappointment after reading the first in this series. The book contained too many inconsistencies and reiteration of the history and social injustices during Jack the Ripper’s Era. After reading it I was left with many questions regarding Della’s methods of investigation. Why didn’t she follow up on the leads of the ghosts when they followed Ripper and lost him? I would have loved to have his lair discovered as she did in the 3rd volume, “Cursed at Dawn”. This book read as if it was written hastily without a solid climax and ending and was too short to be a stand alone book.
