Plot Synopsis

Set in Victorian London in the aftermath of Jack the Ripper's reign of terror, Inspector Edmund Reid heads up the notorious H Division, the toughest district in London's East End. Now, as imitators emerge and gangs terrorize, murder rates rise and each new murder could mark the return of The Ripper. Reid, who was one of the lead detectives on the Ripper case and is still haunted by the failure to catch London's most evil killer, and his partner, Sergeant Bennet Drake, are drawn into London's underbelly of prostitution, child gangs, and a white slavery ring. Plus, they must deal with a cholera outbreak and terrible secrets from their own histories.
