Download Dust and Shadow: An Account of the Ripper Killings by Dr. John H. Watson AudioBook Free
Breathless and painstakingly researched, this is a stunning debut mystery where Sherlock Holmes unmasks Jack port the Ripper. Lyndsay Faye correctly captures all the colour and syntax of Conan Doyle's distinctive 19th-century London. In Dust and Shadow, Sherlock Holmes hunts down Jack port the Ripper-the world's first serial killer-with impeccably correct historical details and without the advantage of modern forensics or profiling. Sherlock's desire to avoid the killer who is terrifying the East End of London is unwavering from the start, and in order to do this he hires an "unfortunate" known as Mary Ann Monk, the good friend of any fellow streetwalker who was simply one of the Ripper's first victims. However, when Holmes himself is wounded in Whitechapel wanting to get the villain and a series of articles in the popular press question his role in the offences, he must use all his resources in a anxious race to get the man known as "The Knife" before it is too overdue. Penned as a pastiche by the faithful and courageous Dr. Watson, this debut signals the entrance of a significant expertise in the puzzle and historical fiction genres.
