Description

Jake Winncott has a troubled past and living in the cesspool of London’s East End in the Victorian era isn’t helping to ease his mind any. Bedeviled by his dead father’s evangelistic shade, Jake sets out do his bidding and cleanse the tainted women of Whitechapel in their own heart’s blood. This is Jack the Ripper as he has never been portrayed. The author takes the reader deep into the tormented heart of the man he might have been and explores a fictional past that might explain his savagery. While the text is gritty at times, and roughly follows the historical timeline of the facts, Jake Wincott is purely a figment of the author’s imagination. N. M. Bell gives the infamous mad man a human face.

Editorial Reviews

This historical novel based on Jack the Ripper, brings the cobbled streets of London’s East End to life. The author describes in detail the appalling poverty many of its wretched inhabitants had to cope with on a day-to-day basis. With public houses and street names surrounding Commercial Road, you feel you are there, perhaps sitting next to the infamous| Jack the Ripper himself. Not for the faint-hearted.
