The bloodiest killer since Jack the Ripper is stalking the gas-lit streets of Philadelphia, leaving corpse after mutilated corpse in his wake. As clever as he was vicious, the murderer left behind mysterious clues that baffled and frustrated the local police. Terrorized by a killer whose motives were as appallingly evil as his methods, the people demanded action, the police turned to the greatest mind since Sherlock Holmes. His name was Dr. Ian Blakley, his powers of deduction were legendary. He consulted for London's prestigious Scotland Yard, but its bungling ineptitude drove him to Philadelphia where he could cultivate his professional and intellectual independence. But no sooner had he arrived in the City of Brotherly Love than he was plunged into the most challenging - and dangerous - case of his career.
