Ripper — Michael Slade

“Slade is at his peak with Ripper. A schizophrenic whodunit complete with locked rooms and self-triggering death devices. Highly enjoyable.” -- Time Out London
 
An American feminist is found hanging, her body slashed to shreds, her face flayed. Two hookers are murdered, their corpses mutilated in a similar pattern. These gruesome deaths are only the beginning of the trail Canadian Mountie Robert DeClercq will follow as he attempts to catch a brutal psychopath. It's a journey that takes him through the history of Satanism and the occult, searching for a serial killer's demons. Demons all too similar to the ones that drove Jack the Ripper . . . 
 
A revised and expanded version of the original Ripper, which was first published in 1994.
