WITNESS THE RISE OF THE RIPPER IN AN UNFORGETTABLE SAGA
Opening in the dying days of 1870, The Blackchapel Chronicles charts the dark and disturbing origins of one of the world’s most infamous serial killers, witnessed through the eyes of the men destined to chase him.
Every book, every case, will take the officers of Whitechapel’s H Division down an ever deeper, darker path to unveil, piece by bloodied piece, the man that will become their nemesis.
With brutal authenticity, author Michael Averon drags Victorian London back to life, resurrecting every fog-choked street and mire-strewn alley in a hugely ambitious body of work that is not to be missed.
BOOK ONE: A PLAGUE OF MURDER
England, 1870
A woman is murdered, her child taken. For residents of a small railway town, such a crime in their midst is as shocking as it is terrifying.
Yet for local Police Constable John Tanner, the nightmare is only just beginning when he follows the trail to Whitechapel, home of the Metropolitan Police Force’s legendary H Division. There he will meet Detective Sergeant Henry Lofthouse, a disillusioned officer of Scotland Yard’s reorganised Detective Branch. Confronted with murders unlike any yet seen, these two very different men must grapple with deception, mistrust and their own demons if they are to stop a relentless killer from fulfilling a horrifying ambition…
