The Ripper Lives: Faith and Fear (7/10)
A new body. A new horror. As the specter of Jack the Ripper looms once more, London teeters on the edge of hysteria.

When a woman is found brutally murdered in Vallance Road Recreation Ground, Inspector Frederick Abberline and Assistant Chief Constable Melville Macnaghten are thrust into a fresh nightmare. The victim is mutilated beyond recognition, her face obliterated, her body bearing the signature of a monster who should not—could not—have returned.

The streets of Whitechapel swell with fear, middle-class nerves unraveling at the thought that the Ripper has extended his reach beyond the slums. Panic breeds violence as tensions erupt among the working poor, anarchists, and the Metropolitan Police, while those in power scheme to twist the horror to their advantage.

Desperate for leads, Abberline follows whispers of a shadowy figure seen guiding the victim into the darkness. His hunt leads him deep into the heart of London's Jewish quarter, where a clandestine confession from a troubled rabbi hints at a soul consumed by darkness—someone who may know the truth about the killer. But the deeper Abberline digs, the more he finds himself ensnared in a labyrinth of corruption, conspiracy, and secrets too dangerous to expose.

As rival forces close in, determined to silence those who pry too close, Abberline and Macnaghten must confront not only the bloodstained trail of a murderer but the ghosts of their own pasts. With each step, the Ripper’s shadow lengthens, and the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur.

In Faith and Fear, the seventh installment of The Ripper Lives, the chase for London’s most notorious killer takes a perilous turn—one that may cost Abberline everything.

History remembers the dead. But who will remember the damned?
