A wonderful historical novel written by 'Dr. John H. Watson' on the Jack the Ripper case that he and Sherlock Holmes worked but failed to catch the Ripper. The Ripper taunts Sherlock Holmes and even accuses him through the press of being the Ripper and nearly destroys his career. The historical novel is based on 'lost notes' of Dr. Watsons, which he hopes are never found and published.
