Synopsis

Author of the New York Times bestseller The Book of Shadows, James Reese returns with a remarkable feat of literary invention. In The Dracula Dossier, Reese combines real historical figures and events--Bram Stoker, Walt Whitman, Jack the Ripper--with glorious speculation in a tour de force of suspense fiction that races non-stop through Victorian London. Bestselling author Michael Connelly raves about The Dracula Dossier, calling it, "a damn good thriller...that had me mesmerized from chapter one."

From the Back Cover:

While taking an evening stroll through one of London's most impoverished districts, author Bram Stoker spies a maddeningly familiar figure hurrying through the shadows. Little does he know that, only a few steps away, a vicious killer has claimed his first victim, a local prostitute. The crime spree of the century has begun--and the hapless writer is the prime suspect. Now, to clear his name, Stoker must enlist the aid of illustrious friends--including Walt Whitman, the wildly popular novelist Sir Thomas Henry Hall Caine, and Lady Jane Wilde, mother of the most notorious literary notable of the day--to hunt down the fiend who is taunting and terrorizing London and calling himself Jack the Ripper.
