Louisville, Kentucky 1898 Ten years earlier, Jack the Ripper
terrorized London's Whitechapel district. Assigned to the case,
Detective Inspector Nathan James discovered the Ripper's true
nature, and made a decision that changed his life. But the murders
stopped, and the Ripper disappeared. Now living in Louisville,
Kentucky, Nathan runs a saloon, while trying to keep his
relationship with his manservant, Stephen, secret. He's never
forgotten his failure to stop the Ripper, and when murdered
prostitutes start showing up, suspects the elusive killer stalks
the city's streets. But is the Ripper responsible for these deaths,
and will he reveal Nathan's and Stephen's darkest secret?
The first in a sparkling new 1950s seaside mystery series, featuring sharp-eyed former nun Nora Breen.
After thirty years in a convent, Nora Breen has thrown off her habit and set her sights on the seaside town of Gore-on-Sea. Her fellow sister Frieda has gone missing and it's up to Nora to find her.
Nora's only clue is that Frieda was last seen at Gulls Nest boarding House. So she travels down, takes a room and settles in to watch and listen. Over dubious - and sometimes downright inedible - dinners, Nora gathers evidence about the other lodgers and what they knew about Frieda.
At long last, Nora has found the perfect outlet for her powers of observation and, well, nosiness. When one of the lodgers is found dead, Nora decides she must find the murderer. Not least because she suspects the victim knew Frieda. Could solving this mystery help her to understand what has happened to her friend?
