New Jack the Ripper novel - Passion of the Ripper - due for publication on Kindle

The Passion of the Ripper" (~50,000 words) is a different kind of Ripper story: not a whodunit, but a naturalistic exploration of the man, his city, and his times.

It tells this well-known story from the inside out, from the points of view of the killer, the cops and his final victim.

It is the result of extensive research on the subject, but the aim is a kind of truth beneath and beyond the facts.

The author Nick Nicastro has published five previous novels, including "Empire of Ashes" and "The Isle of Stone" for Penguin/NAL, and one work of historical non-fiction for St. Martin's Press.
