It’s been one hundred and eleven years since Jack the Ripper terrorised the gas lit streets of Victorian London, but now the grisly killings have started all over again. When the mutilated corpse of a local prostitute is discovered on a building site in Whitechapel during the early hours of Sunday 31st October 1999, it quickly becomes apparent to DCI Jack Tyler and his team of homicide detectives that someone has taken up the Ripper’s mantle and is seeking to emulate the terrible atrocities that gained his namesake such notoriety. ‘Be afraid. This is only the start. Jack’s back…’The chilling message, left by the killer on a wall near the body, and written in the victim’s own blood, catapults the detectives into a race against time as they strive to discover the New Ripper’s identity and stop him from striking again. With his every move being closely monitored by the media, and the top brass at the Yard breathing down his neck to get a quick result, Jack Tyler begins to worry that if he doesn’t catch the killer soon, the case will be taken away from him and his career will be left in tatters. Jack’s Back, the debut novel by former homicide detective, Mark Romain, is a fast moving and gritty crime thriller that pits DCI Jack Tyler against a modern day serial killer, a psychopath who is convinced the original Ripper was an occultist, and that the murders he committed, far from being random, were a series of sacrificial rituals designed to bring him power and influence.
