Description by Author:
A Study in Red - The Secret Journal of Jack
the Ripper by Brian L Porter tells the story of Robert Cavendish, a modern day
psychiatrist who is bequeathed a strange set of papers which purport to be the
journal of the long-dead infamous Whitechapel Murderer whose crimes gripped the
hearts and minds and instilled terror on the streets of Victorian London. As he
begins to read the journal, Robert becomes convinced of it's authenticity and
finds that the words of the Ripper have a strange and compelling effect on him.
Unable to cast the pages aside he finds himself being drawn into the dark and
sinister world of the killer until he is unable to distinguish what is fact and
what is fantasy. In short, Robert Cavendish begins to feel as though he is
being taken over in some way by the soul of the long-dead Ripper. What happens
as he progresses through the journal will disturb and shock the reader as the
close dividing line between sanity and madness is explored to the full.
