Only a few short years ago the monster known as Jack the Ripper
held the East End of London in a grip of terror.Now there are
rumours that the Ripper has returned. Three respectable young women
have been slaughtered in Mayfair, the city's most respectable and
exclusive district - but instead of consulting Sherlock Holmes, the
official police prefer to seek advice from Dr. Karl Schermann. And
while the flamboyant German enjoys official approval and public
acclaim, Holmes sits at home, brooding. Things start to look up
with the solution of an ingenious theft at Cantle's auction house,
and when Dr.Watson persuades him to take a short holiday on the
Sussex coast, Holmes's investigation of blackmail reveals something
even darker and more dangerous. The detective and the doctor return
to London, where another innocent young lady has been killed.
Before Holmes can bring the Mayfair murderer to justice, however,
he must uncover the truth about Dr. Karl Schermann. David Britland
is a freelance writer specialising in magic, psychology, the
paranormal, con tricks and illusion. He has worked on shows such as
Channel 4's Equinox series, The Real Hustle for BBC3 and is a
consultant on the hugely popular Derren Brown programmes. In 2005
he was awarded a Literary Fellowship by the Academy of Magical
Arts.
