A spellbinding saga of London’s East End when Jack the Ripper stalked the streets…
Ettie Wilkins has to get out of Whitechapel. As her mother sinks deeper into alcoholism, the volatile lodger with whom they share their slum has been turning his attentions to Ettie, and she can’t stand it any longer.
So when debonair Professor Jacob Protsky picks Ettie out of the crowd at a penny gaff, she is determined to seize her chance. Despite a chorus of warnings, Ettie goes to live with Protsky in Bow to assist him with his magic tricks.
But when Ettie befriends the mysterious Celia Tressing, she soon finds herself increasingly worried by events down the road in Whitechapel. A series of gruesome murders and whispers of a malice known as Jack the Ripper have shaken even that resilient community, and outsiders like Protsky are prime suspects.
This is an enthralling Victorian drama of sin and redemption, perfect for fans of Rosie Goodwin, Kitty Neale and Ripper Street.
