The year is 1896: The Jack the Ripper murders stop as mysteriously as they started. Five years later, in a San Francisco church, brutally murdered priests, choirboys, and parishioners begin to appear.

In an age that has produced Jonestown, Jeffrey Dahmer, and high-school shoot-ups, we hardly need Jack the Ripper to stimulate our baser curiosities... Graysmith, a respected journalist with a particular interest in sensational crime stories, has proposed a link between the East End murders and some San Francisco murders five years later. Of course, he has no more "solved" the Ripper mystery than any of the hundred other would-be sleuths making similar claims. But Graysmith is a gifted writer whose rat-a-tat, driving style is ideal for a true-crime narrative. If his claims are exaggerated, he has nevertheless provided an exciting, gripping thriller that will be appreciated by Ripper buffs and those who enjoy a fine nail-biter.
Reveals the identity of London's Jack the Ripper and details his murders in San Francisco.
