For the city is on the edge of mass rioting due to the continuing reign of terror by the serial killer known only as Jack the Ripper, who is rampaging though London's less salubrious quarters. <p/>While chasing the madman, a villain from their past strips Gideon Smith of his memory and is cast adrift in the seedy underbelly of London, where life is tough and death lurks in every shadowy alley. <p/>With mob rule threatening to engulf London, the Empire has never needed its hero more...but where is Gideon Smith?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>DAVID BARNETT is an award-winning journalist, multimedia content manager of the <i>Telegraph & Argus</i>, cultural reviewer for <i>The Guardian</i> and the <i>Independent</i> on Sunday, and has done features for <i>The Independent</i> and <i>Wired</i>.
