Kerry Barrett Book 18 — Kerry Barrett
The world's most famous serial killer story, told from the perspective of a gang of women. PRE-ORDER NOW!
He's always one step ahead. But they're coming for him.
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 â€" until now.
Reviews
Praise for author, writing as Kerry Barrett:
'A delicious Art Deco novel with a delightfully acerbic heroine and a cast of fabulously diverse characters having perilous adventures in exotic locations â€" what more could you want? Lovely fireside reading!' Marius Gabriel
‘What a page turner! A bookshop in wartime Lisbon is the gateway to a thrilling world of mystery, espionage, adventure and romance for brilliant and beautiful Lara.' Daisy Wood
'Original and immersive. If you read one Second World War novel in 2025 â€" make it this one.' Eva Glyn
‘A lively trip up the vertiginous backstreets of wartime Lisbon that serves up Nazi spies, Edward and Mrs Simpson and a bookshop with a difference, all seen through the eyes of an engaging young British actress. I lapped it up!' Eliza Graham
'I was completely swept away by the story of smart, savvy heroine, Lara and the wonderfully, eclectic cast of supporting characters. A must-read for historical fiction fans and for me, Kerry Barrett's best book yet.' Annie Lyons
