October 1999
It’s been over a hundred years since Jack the Ripper terrorised the gas lit streets of Victorian London, but now the grisly killings have started all over again.
When the mutilated corpse of a local prostitute is discovered at a building site in Whitechapel, it quickly becomes apparent to DCI Jack Tyler that someone has taken up the Ripper’s mantle and is emulating the terrible atrocities that gained his namesake such notoriety.
'Be afraid. This is only the start. Jack’s back…’ The chilling message, left by the killer on a wall near the body, and written in the victim’s own blood, catapults Tyler into a frantic race against time. Can he get inside the mind of a monster and find a way to stop him, or will more women end up on a mortuary slab?
With the top brass breathing down his neck and hampered by an interfering reporter, Tyler knows that if he doesn't catch the man the media have dubbed ‘The New Ripper’ soon his career won’t be the only thing left in tatters.
Perfect for fans of gritty London Noir, Jack's Back is a fast-paced, roller-coaster of a crime thriller with an explosive finale. Full of twists and turns, this clever whodunit will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
