LETTERS FROM A MURDERER

Book ID/图书代码： 04403013B60519

English Summary/英文概要： New York, 1891: a rapidly changing city, torn between lamplight and electric light, where the burgeoning steel and railway industries attract a flood of humanity from every corner of the globe, fuelling cut-throat gangs, corruption and vice.

A prostitute is found brutally murdered. Immediately fear starts to spread. The victim bears the same hallmarks as Jack the Ripper’s recent killing spree in England. Could it be that the Ripper has crossed the Atlantic to fresh killing grounds? Or is this simply a copycat murder?

To solve the case, one of the original English Ripper pathologists, Finley Jameson, is teamed up with Joseph Argenti, one of the new ’untouchable’ detectives, hand-picked by a New York Mayor eager to fight corruption.

But Michael Tierney, the city’s leading gangster, has his own ideas about how the city should be run. And as the body-count rises, and Jameson & Argenti are taunted by the killer in open letters, they find themselves fighting not just to save the next victim, but for the city’s very soul.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1891年，纽约：这是一个急剧变化着的城市，她在电光灯火之间游走，她新兴的钢产业和铁路行业吸引着全世界的人们向她涌来，而这也加速了邪恶帮派的兴起，导致了腐败与恶势力的迅速滋生。

一名妓女惨遭谋害。一夜之间，恐惧开始四处蔓延。因为受害者身上的作案手法与开膛手杰克在英格兰的杀戮狂欢极为相似。难道开膛手远渡大西洋，想要开辟一片崭新的屠杀地？抑或者这只是一场简单的仿杰克凶杀案？

为了破案，英国开膛手病理专家创始人之一--芬利•詹姆森与新星谜样侦探约瑟夫•爱骏达受致力于与腐败作斗争的纽约市长之托，将就此携手合作。

然而纽约市的头号黑帮老大麦克•蒂尔尼却对此自有见解。随着死亡人数的不断增加，凶手用公开信的方式公然奚落詹姆森与爱骏达，两人发现或许他们所要为之奋斗的不仅仅是拯救下一个受害者，更多的是为了这座城市的灵魂而战。（DC）
