London, 1913. It has been twenty-five years since the Ripper terrorized the city. The Victorian era has given way to a new age of science and suffrage. Horse-drawn carriages are being replaced by automated motorised vehicles. The city is still enveloped in fog and the East End remains a hub of crime, poverty and depravity. Once again, London finds itself at the mercy of a homicidal campaign of murder and savagery that surpasses even Jack the Ripper.
London, 1913. It has been twenty-five years since the Ripper terrorized the city. The Victorian era has given way to a new age of science and suffrage. Horse-drawn carriages are being replaced by automated motorised vehicles. The city is still enveloped in fog and the East End remains a hub of crime, poverty and depravity. Once again, London finds itself at the mercy of a homicidal campaign of murder and savagery that surpasses even Jack the Ripper.
Albert Wiggins, the former leader of Sherlock Holmes's Baker Street Irregulars, is now a CID Detective Inspector leading the hunt for the killer. With Sergeant Jem Pyke, a veteran war hero and prizefighter, by his side, the two men must not only battle the Beast but also confront the sadistic oriental Crime Lord known only as Mr. King and the mysterious Russian demon conjurer, Luca Radasiliev.
Wiggins is supported by a diverse cast of characters, including London's richest and most enigmatic man, the seemingly ageless Dutch leper and scientific visionary, Dante Van Hoon, and the legendary adventurer Doctor John H. Watson. Together, they navigate the dangers of London's criminal underworld, facing terror at every turn.
