The world's most famous unsolved serial killer mystery, told from the perspective of a gang of women. PRE-ORDER NOW! 'I can honestly say it was the most thrilling, page turning book I've read this year. I literally could not put it down.' HELEN PHIFER 'I wasn't really sure there were any more takes to be had on the story of Jack the ripper. But I was wrong.' Reader review London, 1888. A monster prowls the gaslit streets, and the police are looking in all the wrong places, at all the wrong suspects. But three women refuse to stay silent. Emma, the chief detective's sharp-witted wife, sees the investigation failing. Maggie, a private investigator, exposes men's darkest secrets. Bet, a police station cleaner, overhears what others ignore. Together, they form an alliance to hunt down the killer dubbed Jack the Ripper. But as the women weave through the slums, brothels, and smoke-filled parlours of London's underworld, they uncover corruption more sinister than they ever imagined. The city belonged to men - until now. Readers are hooked by The Women in the Shadows: 'A fantastic reimaging' 'I can't even begin to describe how many Jack the Ripper books I've read. But there are no books like this, and I'm so in love with the premise of it' 'If Emma, Bet and Maggie popped up again in some other historical mystery... I would not be mad. I would in fact be asking the bookseller to take my money.' 'This book grabbed me from the start and I couldn't stop reading'
