Aprašymas

In England to meet and recruit the assistance of Dr. Alan Tremaine in his quest for a cure to his vampirism, Baron Anthony Barlucci runs afoul of Scotland Yard Inspector Frederick Abberline when he begins to hunt his prey in the Whitechapel district of London’s seamy East End. His bloody trail leads the press to dub him “JACK THE RIPPER”, but Abberline suspects he might be more properly named, the “WHITECHAPEL VAMPIRE”.

As the murders become more gruesome, the Inspector reluctantly requests the assistance of SHERLOCK HOLMES and DR. WATSON to solve the case.

Set in Victorian London and peopled with characters real and imagined, WHITECHAPEL VAMPIRE is a Sherlock Holmes detective story with a paranormal twist.

Elements of romance are introduced when the baron falls in love with Abigail Drake, the young niece of Metropolitan Police Commissioner, and old friend of the baron’s, Sir Charles Warren.

Steeped in historical fact blended with compelling fiction, the novel neatly blends three genres keeping maintaining fidelity to all three.
