Synopsis

The hunt for The Ripper resumes within the walls of a Victorian Asylum.
After avoiding capture in Brighton, The Ripper is free once more to unleash terror as three women are found horrifically murdered in the Surrey Hills.

Elsbeth Hargreaves and Inspector Abberline are back together, and this time could be their last as they face insanity and death.
Elsbeth, a spiritualist who speaks with the dead, and Inspector Abberline once more join forces to hunt down a prolific serial killer. The Ripper, disguised as a doctor, has hidden himself within the walls of Lidgate Manor, a depraved and horrific institution run by a ruthless Governor, Ignatius Crane, and his sister, Maude. Elsbeth and Abberline have only one way of stopping the killer: they must go undercover in this most notorious lunatic asylum.

House of the Damned
As Abberline and Elsbeth infiltrate the institution, they are faced with the most appalling conditions imaginable, where mayhem and lunacy go hand in hand. From dinner parties for the dead to packs of savage dogs hunting them down through the dark, twisting passages. This is their most dangerous assignment yet, and will push them to the brink of madness in the pursuit of this psychotic maniac.

In this gripping, fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat thriller, with plenty of twists and turns, discover the untold crimes of Jack the Ripper years before the Whitechapel murders. Buried evidence and corruption at the highest levels pave the way for a monster to roam free as the world waits for a legend to be born.
The year is 1884
The Ripper continues his dark journey towards destiny.
