London, 1913. It has been twenty-five years since the horrific crimes of Jack the Ripper shook the city to its core. Now, a new era of scientific progress and women's suffrage has replaced the Victorian age. Horse-drawn carriages are being replaced by motorized vehicles, but the fog still blankets the city, and the East End is still plagued by crime, poverty, and depravity.
London finds itself once again amid a savage murder spree, even more depraved than Jack's. Albert Wiggins, the former leader of Sherlock Holmes's Baker Street Irregulars, is now a CID Detective Inspector leading the hunt for the killer. Along with Sergeant Jem Pyke, a war hero and prize-fighter, they must not only confront the Beast but also the sadistic Crime Lord known as Mr King and the mysterious Russian demon conjurer Luca Radasiliev.
Supporting them in their quest are London's richest and most enigmatic man, Dutch leper and scientific visionary Dante Van Hoon, and the legendary adventurer Doctor John H. Watson. Wiggins is surrounded by a diverse and eclectic cast of characters from London's criminal underworld.
