About the Book

Jack Thomas Reid, nephew of Robert Cavendish who first appeared in A Study in Red - The Secret Journal of Jack the Ripper languishes in the
secure Ravenswood Psychiatric Hospital, sentenced to confinement 'at Her
Majesty's Pleasure' for a series of apparent 'Jack the Ripper' copycat
killings in the picturesque English coastal resort of Brighton. Jack's
defence at his trial, that he is a descendant of Jack the Ripper and
that the crimes were conducted by an unknown 'mystery man' and that Jack
was drugged and made to appear as the killer was regarded as so
preposterous and unbelievable that his sentence was never in doubt. When
one of the policemen who conducted the original investigation into the
murders begins to doubt the truth of the case against Reid, Sergeant
Carl Wright and Ripperologist Alice Nickels begin an investigation into
his story. What they find is told through the voice of Doctor Ruth
Truman, Jack's psychiatrist at Ravenswood, and through a series of
events that take place as far afield as the beautiful island of Malta
and in Warsaw, Poland. Slowly but surely and with the help of Wright's
boss Inspector Mike Holland, the link between the events that shocked
and terrorised Whitechapel over a century ago, and their link with the
case of Jack Thomas Reid and the 'Legacy of Jack the Ripper' is
revealed.

A Study in Red - The Secret Journal of Jack the Ripper was the winner of The Preditors & Editors 'Best Thriller
Novel of 2008 Award' and is available from Double Dragon Publishing,
Amazon and all good retailers.
