About The New York Ripper A Twisted Psychological Thriller
SHE RISKS EVERYTHING TO SOLVE THE WAVE OF MURDERS, EVEN HER LIFE. A twisted psychological thriller with a surprise ending. The year is 1890. The city is New York. Young newspaper reporter Emma Gilder is given an undercover assignment to mingle with street prostitutes and gather information about a crooked cop. Emma's work takes her to the crime-infested Tenderloin district, also called Satan's Circus, where she learns the name of a police officer taking bribes from a sleazy club called the Haymarket Dancehall. Unbeknownst to Emma, she becomes the target of a psychotic serial killer. From there, Emma embarks on a daring mission to uncover the mass-killer, whom the newspapers are now calling the New York Ripper. Emma's dangerous quest takes her into the tortured past, and twisted mind of a murderer who will kill again before her hunt is over. Fast-paced and riveting, infused with historical detail, The New York Ripper conjures up Gilded Age New York, with its tenements, corrupt cops, and flashy gangsters. Based on a true story, The New York Ripper takes you inside the underbelly of Manhattan's illegal clubs and unsavory saloons, where deviant male behavior and prostitution flourish during the New York City's transition from the Civil War days to the turn of the century. A remarkable combination of historical novel and psychological thriller.
