Publisher Description:
By 1895, the spectre of Jack the Ripper had begun to fade until one man brought the memory of it flooding back... This is the true story of one night's tragedy and the effect it would have on many lives for years to come. In the early hours of 11th August 1895 Inspector Christopher Hopkinson was awoken from his slumber by a frantic hammering on his door. Dressing quickly he hurried downstairs to be confronted, in the dim light of the courtyard, by a man, almost naked, his throat slashed, carrying a small child in burning nightclothes. Christopher Hopkinson was immediately thrust into a nightmare of brutal murder, arson and intrigue, from which there seemed no end. With the seeds of one family's spiral of destruction set as far afield as conflict- torn Imperial India, and at home in the rapidly changing England of Queen Victoria, this is a true tale which gripped the nation. The sensational trial that followed these murders was beset by controversy and uncertainty. It is up to you to decide whether the original jury reached the correct verdict.
