A modern-day thriller about Rory, an American high-school
student who enrolls at London boarding school for her junior year. Soon after
her arrival, a series of murders begins to take place across the city—on the
exact dates and in the exact style of Jack the Ripper. Rory’s ties to the
killer bring her in contact with a secret paranormal branch of the British
police, as they attempt to stop the mysterious killer.
I read about Maureen Johnson's new book the other day and
now I'm obsessed with it. I think it sounds super awesome...and original! I've
always been interested by Jack the Ripper so the fact that Maureen is actually
writing a book about it is something I find fringing' cool. I can't wait until September
to get it...hello, birthday present!
