"A gripping Victorian crime thriller that picks up the hunt for Jack the Ripper where history left off."


A killer in the shadows. A city built on deception. A detective who refuses to let the past die.

Jack the Ripper has vanished—but the fear remains. The streets of Whitechapel are still thick with suspicion, and Inspector Frederick Abberline knows one thing for the case is far from over. When the Home Office orders the investigation to continue in absolute secrecy, Abberline and his covert task force are thrust into a treacherous hunt where deception runs deep, allies are scarce, and the truth is more terrifying than the legend.

When a mutilated body is discovered in the open, it shatters the uneasy peace that had settled over Whitechapel. But this murder is different—frenzied, exposed, and chaotic. As Abberline digs deeper, he finds himself at odds with a brutal Whitechapel Vigilance Committee, rival forces operating in the shadows, and an escaped lunatic who may hold the key to the crime. With the city unraveling and danger closing in, one question haunts is this another Ripper killing… or something far worse?

The search for answers leads Abberline to the opulent heart of London’s elite, where power and corruption intertwine in deadly ways. A disturbing connection to a man of staggering wealth, Alfred de Rothschild, brings him face-to-face with a high-stakes game of deception. As he and Assistant Chief Constable Melville Macnaghten push for the truth, the lines between justice, conspiracy, and survival blur. But in a city where nothing is as it seems, one truth the Ripper is still out there.

Some crimes refuse to be forgotten. Some killers refuse to be caught. But in London’s darkest corners, the truth lies hidden, waiting to be found.

Step into the chilling opening of No Rest for the Jack the Ripper Series I with Book 0ne (1-3). The legend is just the beginning...

Ideal for readers who love The Alienist, From Hell, and The Yard—gritty, atmospheric, late-Victorian crime at its best.
