Here's the opening paragraph to 'Evil on the night air' just to give you guys an idea of what the story is about ...
The day after the murder everyone was talking about Jack the Ripper. The air was thick with his name and something else, something that gripped at the heart of the people walking the streets of Whitechapel, fear. Up and down the back streets it coursed, you could almost track its progress through the thick smog, like a silent spectre being passed from person to person as they whispered, “Have you heard? There’s been a terrible murder done. Vicious, people are saying. Work of the devil some reckon.” It only took a few hours for the whole district to learn his name but by the time he had finished his bloody work he had carved it into the hearts and minds of the whole country.
