History professor Henry Willows is in love-in love with Catherine Eddowes, the fourth victim of Jack the Ripper. Although over a century distant, Henry's obsession knows no bounds. With the aid of an ingenious physicist, Henry achieves his raison d'etre: a means to travel back in time, stop the world's most infamous serial killer, and save the woman he loves. But the fabric of time isn't easy to change . . . and the Ripper has plans of his own.

A very engrossing book! Had a slow start, but once I got to maybe page 70 or 100 I stayed up late in bed reading three nights in a row. Couldn't put it down! Really original way to do time travel and it felt believable. Really good detail on 1880s, too - very rich.
There were some things I wasn't a fan of, but it was nitpicking character details.
I recommended my local small bookstore carry this book! :)
Such an amazing book, very well made after the real incidents of the real life history of Jack The Ripper. Very detailed characters and everything about the book is very good.
Amazingly detailed historical insight combined with a clever and fascinating theme. Loved this book and couldn’t put it down! I was disappointed that the ride ended.
