An impossible killer stalks the streets of London.

Jack the Ripper faded into history over a century ago, his identity lost to the ages. Until a work crew restoring a Mayfair home make a shocking find. A secret basement room walled up since Victorian times. The Whitechapel murderer's lair. And inside, a corpse that has waited in silent darkness for over a hundred years. But it won't stay that way…

Within hours of the room's discovery, the body goes missing, and the murders begin anew.

With a violent killer on the loose and the body count rising, John Decker, still new to CUSP, is sent to England, along with seasoned operative Colum O'Shea. Their mission: stop a ruthless monster from obtaining the one thing that will allow him to escape forever.

As the city huddles in fear and the terror mounts, Decker finds himself in a race against time to catch a hellish fiend smarter than any he has ever faced. Because if he doesn't, the next death might hit a little too close to home.

Concept was interesting but the action was rather contrived with lots of loose ends.

The narrator has a very nice speaking voice but was ridiculously melodramatic and a terrible actor! The only thing worse than his acting was his LOUSY attempt at English accents. He was a terrible choice!

Interesting concept

I enjoyed this Jack the Rupper tale but the Narrator is just way too melodramatic and does horrible accents. It is very distracting. The plot and characters could use better development.

Good one

I've read/listened to a few others in the John Decker series. This one fell a little flat for me. The story wasn't bad, but the performance took it down a couple of notches. Narrator seemed like he was using his inner William Shatner as he read.

Okay....not the best

This was a highly entertaining entry in the John Decker series. Jack, (or Abraham as it turns out) is a very effective opponent for Decker. We are never given a clear explanation of what he is, but that makes it all the more effective. Part serial killer, part vampire, part... something else. Jack is intelligent and resourceful. The backdrop of modern London is great as well. This may be, in my opinion, the best book in the series yet.

To be fair, this is not "Great Literature", and if that is what you are expecting, you will likely be disappointed. However, if you want an entertaining story with supernatural overtones and a hero that is willing to stand up to any threat, then you will have a fun time here. The story reads like a cross between episodes of The X-Files and Kolchack, The Night Stalker.

No sex, no profanity, a pretty good dose of violence (it's Jack the Ripper after all). Recommended.
