Jacques the Ripper

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. A woman survives an attack on a lonely road. The man who assaulted her has a grotesque face and no name. By morning, he is released. Months later, the bodies begin to appear . . . France, 1894. Across the rural south-east, women and shepherd children are being found dead in fields and ditches. The cases seem separate, each one blurred by shame, poverty, poor evidence and local suspicion. But young Inspector Marceau Gaspard begins to notice the same details appearing again and again. When fifteen-year-old Victor Portalier is murdered, his sister Clémence refuses to let him become another anonymous victim. Her insistence forces Marceau closer to the truth, and closer to the terrifying possibility that the murderer has already been seen, questioned, and allowed to walk away. Decades later, Marceau's granddaughter uncovers the hidden file that reveals the case behind the horrific crimes . . . Inspired by the true crimes of Joseph Vacher, Jacques the Ripper is a dark historical thriller about obsession, guilt, proof, and the terrible cost of recognizing evil too late. Perfect for fans of Thomas Harris, Robert Harris, and Hannah Kent.
