Review

Special book feature: 'Stalking Jack' by Madison Kent
Staff Editor May 10, 2014
We are excited to feature another book by the talented author Madison Kent entitled 'Stalking Jack: The Hunt Begins...'.  This is a mystery thriller which will keep you on edge.
The SS City of New York is about to embark on its maiden voyage to England. It is August, 1888 and Madeline Donovan is a passenger on this ship, an unexpected trip she has taken because the thought of being around anything familiar at Christmas when the anniversary of the tragedy occurred, would be unthinkable. But everything abruptly changes when the local London papers arrive on board and the news of Jack the Ripper's latest victim are the headlines in every paper. She encounters Jonathan Franks, a reporter from The New York Times and other chance meetings that change her thoughts and path that will lead her directly to White Chapel, in the East End of London, the deadliest place to be.
Jack the Ripper continues to fascinate to this day,  this murderer of such notoriety, that eluded even Scotland Yard. In this story, the tables will be turned on Jack and he will become the hunted by a widow, who feels she has nothing to lose, and deems it her mission in life to track him down. She is not without her own demons. She becomes swallowed up in the dark side of London, begins having conversations with her dead husband, who she has relegated to the position of a Dr. Watson, while she is Holmes and must always fight her overwhelming grief that is pulling her into blackness. It is a new twist on an infamous, still unresolved series of murders, that is, until now.
