An epic tale with central themes of corruption and the perversion of justice.

When the Ripper murders his thirteenth victim, the whole of Yorkshire is terrorised. Assistant Chief Constable Hunter struggles to solve the hellish crimes and bring an end to the horror. But after his house is burned down, his wife is threatened and his colleagues turn against him, Hunter's quest becomes personal as he has nothing left to lose.

And as the summer moves remorselessly towards the bonfires of Jubilee Night, the killings accelerate and it seems as if Bob Fraser the half decent copper and the burnt-out hack Jack Whitehead are the only men who suspect or care that there may be more than one killer at large.

An intense journey into a secret history of sexual obsession and greed.
