"A gorgeously written, chilling, atmospheric thriller. The streets of London have never been so sinister or so romantic."--Cassandra Clare, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Mortal Instruments series "This book made me want to give up everything, move to London, and fight ghosts."--Holly Black, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Cruel PrinceThe day Louisiana teenager Rory Deveaux arrives in London marks a memorable occasion. For Rory, it's the start of a new life at a London boarding school. But for many, this will be remembered as the day a series of brutal murders broke out across the city--gruesome crimes mimicking the horrific work of Jack the Ripper in the autumn of 1888. Soon "Rippermania" takes hold of modern-day London, and the police are left with few leads and no witnesses. Except one. Rory spotted the man police believe to be the prime suspect. But she is the only one who saw him. Even her roommate, who was with her at the time, didn't notice the mysterious man. So why can only Rory see him? And more urgently, what is he planning to do about her?
