Overview
Told through an assortment of letters, diary entries and clippings, Katherine Kramer falls ill after cutting herself on a strange book. Despite a desperate attempt to save her by her husband Richard, a professor of medicine, and his friend and colleague Charlie Bentwith, Katherine dies in horrific circumstances.
When Charlie's wife Constance falls ill in similar circumstances, the two friends are plunged into a murky underground world of witchcraft and esoterica, far removed from the science they know and trust. With the London press wondering whether the Ripper has returned, the friends must race against time to save Constance and avenge Katherine's death.
An assortment of letters, diary entries and clippings were unearthed in an attic in the early 20th century. They were painstakingly pieced together by an anonymous family member to tell this strange tale from late Victorian London.
Now, nearly a century later, these sensational papers have come into the author's possession and have been printed for the first time.
The papers tell the untold story of Katherine Kramer, who fell ill and died in horrific fashion after an innocuous injury. But stranger still is the story which followed, how her husband Richard was plunged into a murky world of witchcraft, esoterica and secret societies.
Unsure who to trust, the stakes could not be higher as Richard, a man of science and medicine, along with his friend and colleague Charles Bent with, race against time to save not only themselves but also the family and friends they hold dear.
