Whitechapel: The Final Stand of Sherlock Holmes
"This duel between good and evil isn't about observational investigation skills but rather a story of redemption, heroes having to fight more than just a nocturnal psychopath, and a culture ill-equipped to deal with crime and its breeding grounds. Filled with surprising twists." BookPleasures.com"Built on considerable historical research, a willingness to describe a hard world for what it was, and a good use of the original Sherlock Holmes canon to attract lovers of the Conan Doyle mythos. Disturbing, yes, but engaging as well." Bookpleasures"Mr. Schaffer's greatest feat with this book is in his extraordinary character development. Perhaps none more so than of notorious butcher, Jack the Ripper." DavidHulegaard.com"The writing is stupendous. Let me say that again, STUPENDOUS. Every character, from the most prominent to the lowest bit player, is deeper than an ocean. There are scenes in this book that I will never forget, including an ending that brought tears to my eyes." DavidHulegaard.com"Author Bernard Schaffer hits it out of the park with a stylish, fictionalized story of the notorious killer Jack the Ripper with one of the ultimate investigators in fiction, Sherlock Holmes."
