JACK THE RIPPER'S CRIMES CAPTIVATED MILLIONS. BUT HIS STORY ISN'T FINISHED YET . . .

'McEvoy really knows her stuff' - IAN RANKIN

Forensic Psychologist Jo McCready is assisting DCI Callum Ferguson on a murder inquiry when one of her patients is found brutally murdered.

Jo was the last person to see Martha Scott alive. She was helping Martha unlock a repressed memory - but during the session, Jo unlocked more than she bargained for. An alternate personality introduced himself as the reincarnation of Jack the Ripper - and thanked Jo for setting him free to kill again.

As Ferguson's team race to find Martha's killer, a series of copycat killings begin, replicating 'The Autumn of Terror' in 1888. But if Jack is just a figment of Martha's damaged mind, who killed her?

With the body count rising, Jo must construct a profile to stop the murderer recreating the terror of the most infamous serial killer of all time. And as the anniversary of the final and most gruesome of all the killings looms, Jo discovers that the killer has one murder on his mind that is far closer to home . . .

An expert in the fields of psychology and profiling, author Lesley McEvoy uses her insider knowledge to create gripping, unique crime novels. Her bestselling thriller debut, The Murder Mile is perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths, Ann Cleeves and The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides.

About the Author

Lesley McEvoy was born and bred in Yorkshire and has had a passion for writing in one form or another all her life. The writing took a backseat as Lesley developed her career as a Behavioural Analyst / Profiler and Psychotherapist - setting up her own Consultancy business and therapy practice. She has written and presented extensively around the world for over 25 years specialising in behavioural profiling and training, with a wide variety of organisations. The corporate world provided unexpected sources of writing material when, as Lesley said - she found more psychopaths in business than in prison! Lesley's work in some of the UK's toughest prisons was where she met people whose lives had been characterised by drugs and violence and whose experiences informed the themes she now writes about. Deciding in 2017 to concentrate on her writing again, Lesley produced her debut novel, The Murder Mile.

These days she lives in Cheshire with her partner but still manages to lure her two grown up sons across the Pennines with her other passion - cooking family dinners.
