In 1895, after fourteen-year-old orphan and wannabe-detective Carver Young becomes the protegé of a retired Pinkerton Agency detective, he makes the shocking discovery that his father is alive--and is Jack the Ripper, now terrorizing New York. This nonstop edge-of-your-seat action story features a collection of complex secondary characters, a whip-smart narrative, and a vividly portrayed setting.
