West Of Whitechapel: Jack the Ripper in the Wild West - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

WITH A HUNGER FOR TRUTH, THIS THRILLING WESTERN WILL KEEP YOU ON YOUR TOES.

In the late 1880s, a series of grisly murders swept through the Whitechapel slums of London. The victims were all prostitutes, each found with their throats cut and their stomachs sliced open. Sensationalized newspaper accounts of the killings spread throughout England and beyond to a horrified yet fascinated reading public. Heightening interest all the more were the taunting letters sent by the killer to Scotland Yard—boldly signed “Jack the Ripper.”

But then, abruptly, the killings stopped. The Ripper was never identified or captured, and the terror seemed over.

A few months later, however, on the American frontier in the raucous, rowdy mining camps that sprung up out of a silver boom in the Colorado Rockies, some eerily similar murders are beginning to occur among the flocks of “soiled doves” who gather to serve the men in remote camps. With no law to speak of in such places and sudden death being all too common, no one seems to take much notice.

Not until a sharp-eyed female journalist spots an possible connection and becomes determined to uncover the truth. Aided by a guilt-ridden, though equally dogged frontier detective, the pair follow a bloody trail through the rugged mountains and boisterous mining camps to try and prove if Jack the Ripper truly ceased his killing ways…or merely moved them out here—west of Whitechapel.

Join the chase for truth and justice in the Wild West! Dive into this heart-pounding Western thriller today!
