Official Summary
An awesome new series of chillers inspired by the smash hit movie series
After an investigative journalist narrowly cheats death in a terrorist attack she sees a great angle for a story by telling the survivors' tales in her magazine. When the survivors start turning up dead though she begins to suspect foul play and finds herself dragged into a world of spiritualism and conspiracies that ultimately leads back to Victorian England and Jack the Ripper.
If you thought you knew suspense and intrigue then you don't know Jack!
Plot
Prologue
The book begins with the Borderlands Patrol headlines in December 2004 which featured Elvis flying in a saucer on the cover, recalling the events that occured in Club Kitty. The article shows Governor Schwarzenegger enacting the review of codes related to the disaster. One of those survivors in the article was Sebastian Lebecque, who was burned to death after throwing his cigarette at the gas tank and among others. The Patrol was unable to contact Jessica Golden, the survivor of the disaster, since she was disappeared from existence shortly after Eric Prescott's death and The Vipers' album was hit at the time of her disappearance.
