Death in Whitechapel
(2024)(The third book in the Miss Adventure Misadventures series)
A novel by S G Tasz
What happens when a ghost assassin faces off against an infamous serial killer?
After sidestepping an apocalypse and diffusing an inter-organizational war, Adina Venture has risen quickly in the Order’s esteem. So maybe it shouldn’t come as a surprise when the Prime enlists her for an overseas mission at the Order’s London base. For several weeks they’ve been tangling with a serial k!ller whose murders bear a striking resemblance to the infamous Jack the Ripper. However, despite multiple witnesses at the scene, no one has seen his face, and the security footage shows no one att@cking the victims. The villain is, by all accounts, invisible.
Could there be another “Miss Adventure” in the world? It’s a compelling question. More compelling still is that Adina will be escorted on this mission by Chief Inquisitor Levi Breitling, since he is the only Order employee familiar with her abilities.
Exactly *how* familiar is something they’ve had to keep hidden from their superiors—and Adina’s family—for months.
But things work differently on the other side of the pond, where even the power of Chaos bows to the Rigour, a silent and all-controlling presence that seems set on preventing Adina and Breitling from enjoying each other’s company. Not only that, but when Adina discovers that this “Ripper” may not be the callous monster everyone believes him to be, the blustery Constable refuses to listen, and even Breitling questions her objectivity. Stuck in a foreign land and stymied at every turn, Adina must find a way to make her case before the mounting frustrations break her—and Breitling—for good.
A contemporary gothic fantasy threaded with mystery and romance, Death in Whitechapel is the third book in the ongoing Death by Miss Adventure series.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
