His face, or lack of it, filled her nightmares until she woke screaming...London 1971: Nell is a university student in London, trying to put the past behind her. But as a series of murders reveals a killer obsessed with Jack the Ripper, she realises her nightmares might be coming true.Detective Briony Williams, also just starting out on her life on London, is part of the team tracking down The Walker.
