Description: London 1941. In the middle of the Second World War, a murderer embarks on series of brutal and graphic mutilations of young women, reminiscent of Jack the Ripper's terror rampage some 50 years earlier. Enter Scotland Yard Inspector John Murphy, son of the famous Doctor Watson. As the killer stalks the night and leaves no clue, Murphy becomes desperate. One night while glancing through his father's private journal, he discovers an extraordinary secret, a direct descendant of one of the most famous detectives to ever live. Now, in the middle of a war, he decides to search the continent and possibly across an ocean to locate the legacy, hoping they've inherited those singular deductive powers that could be the key to solving the murders.
