Background Story
He wasn’t a hero. He was a surgeon with cold hands and eyes that had seen too much death. I was the only female journalist on Fleet Street, fighting to report the truth about the Whitechapel murders.

Sometimes, it kills pretty little writers, too." I stepped closer. "Then teach me how to hunt."
