In 1811, London was shocked by the murders on Ratcliff Hayway, where two families were reprisrated for a week. Almost half a century later, Thomas de Queens returned to the city, who clearly described this tragedy in his essay “Murder as one of the elegant arts.”
A few days after his arrival, another terrible death befell another family. One gets the impression that someone was inspired by a book and uses it as a guide to action. Suspicion falls on de Quincy himself. With the help of his daughter, Emily and two detectives of Scotland Yard, he must find out the truth before even more blood sheds, and stop the killer, cruelty with the rifle with Jack himself.
