Though, Jack the Ripper first struck fear in the hearts of London and the world over 100 years ago, the brutal manner in which the victims were mutilated and the fact that the culprit was never found has caused that fear to simmer through the generations and has now been reignited with the surfacing of a Ripper copycat. The day of the first murder also happens to be the day that Rory Deveaux arrives in London from Louisiana to begin boarding school. Rory has a lot on her plate with settling in with her new roommate, keeping up with her classes and doing her best to make it out of field hockey alive, so she is not totally consumed by the Rippermania that has swept London.
When Rory happens to see the man that is at the top of the suspect list the police are very interested in what she saw. However, Rory isn't even sure what to think about what she saw since her roommate, Jazza, was right by her and didn't see a thing. Rory is instantly wrapped up in the middle of the Ripper madness, because it now seems that she could be his next victim.
I had to finish this book during the day, because I was too scared to read it at night. You will be on edge waiting to find out what it is that sets Rory apart from her classmates and why the copycat Ripper is so very interested.
