I, Ripper by Stephen Hunter
A new thriller from NY Timesbestseller Stephen Hunter takes you deep inside the mind of the most notorious serial killer of all time: Jack the Ripper
[A] dark, bloody triumph. . convincingly mad, alternatively even-tempered, hallucinatory and cackling . . . the book's characters are great, its race to capture the murder is beautifully tense, and it has one of the best twists I can remember in any recent historical thriller.-The New York Times Book Review
Add Sherlock Holmes, deductive reasoning, a classic frame-up, spot-on Cockney dialogue, erudite social observations, and pervasive anti-Semitism, and Bob's your uncle. Hunter solves the crime, and the Prince of Wales wasn't the culprit.-Kirkus Reviews
Intriguing... details such as the ingenious speculations about the graffiti message that the murderer left on the night he slaughtered two prostitutes are sure to fascinate Ripperologists. -Publishers Weekly
Absolutely riveting. . . . Authentic in tone, well researched, and darkly atmospheric of Victorian London, this historical thriller combines the quiet plausibility of the psychopath in Thomas Harris' Red Dragon (1981) with the menacing tone of Kenneth Cameron's The Frightened Man (2009).-Booklist
