Title: The Whitechapel Horrors
Subtitle: A Sherlock Holmes Novel
Description: >Grotesque murders are being committed on the streets of Whitechapel. Sherlock Holmes comes to believe the murders are the skillful work of one man, a man who earns the gruesome epithet of Jack the Ripper. As the investigation proceeds, Holmes realizes that the true identity of the Ripper puts much more at stake than merely catching a killer - the most fundamental British institutions may very well be threatened. He is faced with the most difficult decision he has ever made, a crisis of conscience that shakes him to his very core. Holmes must decide where his allegiance truly lies - with his code of honor as a detective and champion of justice, or with his strong feelings of patriotism and love of England.

>Edward B. Hanna brings Sherlock Holmes stunningly back to life in this homage to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's great creation. He vividly evokes the atmosphere of Victorian London in all its great and sordid details: the gaslight lamps and hansom cabs, the rain in the streets, the smell of poverty, the people and their language, dress, and habits. Here he imagines the characters anew, while maintaining the integrity of Conan Doyle's originals.
