Welcome to the future. Welcome to nineteenth-century London: a theme park re-created for tourists. But it's not just tourists visiting this historical virtual city . . .
In nineteenth-century London, Mary Graham is murdered in a dark alley. It would appear that Jack the Ripper has returned. However, this "London" is a crime-free "virtual city"; a theme park created to attract tourists. Roberta Morgenstern, a qualified witch, and her assistant Clement Martineau, fresh out of the police academy, set out to solve Mary's murder.
A wild chase through the streets of London brings the heroes face to face with the terrifying new Ripper. Their mission is to find the man who is bringing some of history's most notorious characters back to life, as the trail of evidence leads them through a number of virtual eras and locations - from Paris at the time of Louis XIV to Montezuma's Mexico, where they have an assignation with the Devil himself . . .
This is an unusual, complex and uniquely satisfying novel, from a great new talent.
