Official Summary

An awesome new series of chillers inspired by the smash hit movie series

After an investigative journalist narrowly cheats death in a terrorist attack she sees a great angle for a story by telling the survivors' tales in her magazine. When the survivors start turning up dead though she begins to suspect foul play and finds herself dragged into a world of spiritualism and conspiracies that ultimately leads back to Victorian England and Jack the Ripper.

If you thought you knew suspense and intrigue then you don't know Jack!
