Book ID/图书代码： 04003014B70552
English Summary/英文概要： London: the early 1840s. The birth of the young Queen Victoria’s first child is taken as an auspicious sign for all. But on a cold March night, a spree of dark crimes in shadowy workhouses shocks the city.
When Inspector Owen Endersby, of the recently formed London Detective Police, learns that the string of identical murders and abductions had all taken place on the same night, he fears a monster is prowling the city. How long until the murderer strikes again? Is this work of a diabolical killer, or a madman with confused motives? Facts are scarce. Endersby and his sergeant, Thomas Caldwell, must start an investigation based on the fitful testimonies of terrified girls and one peculiar clue: a piece of curtain lace found in the throats of the victims
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 伦敦：19世纪40年代早期。年轻的维多利亚女皇的第一个孩子的诞生被看做是一个吉祥兴盛的象征。然而在一个寒冷的三月的夜里，一场在济贫院中进行的黑暗罪行的狂欢震惊了这座城市。
检察官欧文•安德斯比是新近成立的伦敦警署的一员，他发现同样的谋杀和绑架案件几乎是在同一个夜晚中在城市的各地相继发生，他不由得担心，一个可怕的魔鬼正在暗夜中威胁着这座城市。类似的谋杀发生的频率会是如何？这是出自于一个专业杀手之手，抑或者只是一个迷失了心智，毫无明确目标的疯人的所作所为？证据少之又少。
安德斯比和他的副官托马斯•考德威尔必须基于对受到惊吓的女孩子们的不断询问，以及一个特别的线索:在受害者们的喉咙中所发现的蕾丝----展开一场调查。（DC）
