Opis

When London discovered that Jack the Ripper was back, it sent Scotland Yard's Murder Squad into chaos. But now it is even worse. There are two of them. When the Harvest Man begins killing, carving people's faces off their skulls, the men of the Yard know they need Inspector Walter Day to find him before more families are murdered. Meanwhile, Saucy Jack is playing his own games--and when the two killers come together, the men of the Yard may never be the same.

Recenzje

Praise for Alex Grecian

The Devil s Workshop is a historical thriller that moves quickly and surely, bringing Jack the Ripper back from the realm of nightmare to the streets of London. Saucy Jack may be one of the most disturbing characters ever written on the page again. Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
 
In The Harvest Man, Grecian brings his graphic and dramatic skills to bear in a harrowing psychological drama, narrated with a visual accuracy that is the stuff of nightmares. Prepare yourself for a compelling mix of psychological thriller and historical mystery. Booklist (starred review)
 
Grecian is skilled at creating menacing villains and sympathetic secondary characters. The nonstop action (in The Harvest Man) would make for a strong BBC America series.
Library Journal
 
Grecian has a remarkable way of pulling the reader in and down, into the swirling dark. We emerge from this tale dazed and awed. The Huffington Post
