Is a descendant of Jack the Ripper of London terrorizing New Orleans before Mardi Gras or is it just a copycat serial killer? A Jewish rookie detective is sent to NOLA to assist with his comprehensive knowledge of that famous case. He teams with a female Creole lead detective to stop the murders before all out panic ensues and threatens the historical celebration. The detective experiences strange dreams and visions as he takes in the full history, culture, and legends of the area while grappling with his attraction to his temporary partner. The arrogant killer mimics the aspects of the original ripper case while leading investigators down an increasingly difficult path. The detectives only clue is in the form of a multi-symbol brand seared into the flesh of his victims. A connection between the symbols is vital to discover the killer's motivation to stop the carnage. The story is 339 pages, including illustrations by the author in the e-book version.
