After a brutal confrontation with the ruthless enforcer Dennis Cartwright, Abberline and Macnaghten find themselves facing not only a bloody fight for survival but also a battle for the very soul of the Metropolitan Police. With their enemies tightening their grip and conspiracies threatening to pull them under, the pair must take matters into their own hands—striking first before they become the next casualties in a game they are only beginning to understand.

Meanwhile, Scotland Yard is on the brink of implosion, its reputation hanging by a thread as political power plays and underground alliances threaten to unravel everything Abberline holds dear. The lines between justice and revenge blur when the investigators orchestrate a perilous scheme to dismantle their foes—one that will change the course of their hunt forever.

But even as they bring down the mighty, the Ripper remains elusive. And when a gaunt and haunted figure steps forward with chilling revelations, Abberline realizes the case is far from over. As the body count rises and the shadows close in, he must ask himself: is he still the man he once was, or has he become the very monster he is trying to stop?

In this gripping seventh installment of The Ripper Lives, trust is shattered, alliances are tested, and the streets of London run red with the price of justice. Some men are sinners. Some are saints. But in the dark heart of Whitechapel, it’s getting harder to tell the difference.
