Sherlock Holmes, His Wife and the Hunt for Jack the Ripper

"Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Another Horrible Murder in Whitechapel! Police Baffled!" In the autumn of 1888, that was the headline in all the London newspapers. First one poor woman was slaughtered on the streets of Whitechapel. Then another. And another. Was it ever going to stop? The good people of London began to look over their shoulders every time they went out of their own front door. Could nobody put a stop to this maniac who was slaughtering and mutilating women at his leisure? And truly, the police were baffled. Time for the world famous consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, to step in and solve the puzzle! Well, no. The great detective was far too busy; besides, street women were murdered every other day; they accepted it as a professional hazard. He just wasn't interested. At least not until Jack the Ripper stretched out his bloody hand and targeted Holmes' wife, the feisty music hall artiste Nell. Then, it was personal. Then, it became a vendetta to the death between the world's greatest detective and the murderer who signed his taunting letters as "Jack the Ripper", and gave his address as "From Hell." "Sherlock Holmes, His Wife and The Hunt for Jack the Ripper" is a thrilling feast of intrigue, romance and suspense. True crime, the Victorian music hall and spiritualism rub shoulders with a dash of Holmes' lesser known cases. The whole is set against the rich tapestry of Dickens's London; truly a feast to tickle the appetite of both Ripper and Holmes' fans alike. Saucy Jack, the murderer from Hell, finally unmasked by the world's greatest detective!
