A John Darnell mystery. A mysterious figure has been lurking on the streets of London's red-light district. Dressed in clothing decades out of style, he has been seen only by local prostitutes - and he seems to vanish into thin air. Scotland Yard pays little attention to these odd reports - until a prostitute is savagely murdered in Whitechapel. The killing is hauntingly similar to the work of Jack the Ripper, but those grisly crimes occurred almost thirty years ago. Professor John Darnell, who specializes in debunking cases of the supernatural, is called in to help investigate aided by his unlikely ally, eccentric playwright George Benard Shaw.
