A new novel by contemporary Russian writer Sofia Bayun! Steampunk fantasy about a young man accused of murders and imitating Jack the Ripper! A light touch of mysticism and mystery! Love that starts with distrust but turns into obsession! Perfect for fans of the "Hunting Jack the Ripper" series and the "Carnival Row" TV show.
In the seaside town of Ligeplass, murders are happening suspiciously similar to the work of the executed Jack the Ripper several years ago. The gendarmerie is in disarray, but they have a suspect...
Walter Howard is a fugitive aristocrat hiding his origin and past. He meets Elster, who blackmails him into helping her get to Albion. But the city itself is not as harmless as it seems - it is filled with poisonous fog, and one can only walk there wearing masks. In his ancestral estate, the young man finds Jack the Ripper's diary. Walter becomes obsessed with his story, starts hearing mysterious whispers, and seeing things he shouldn't. Jack the Ripper killed his beloved, and now Walter is afraid he will repeat his fate and kill Elster, whose feelings strangely cloud his mind.
