Synopsis "Stalking Jack the Ripper (Stalking Jack the Ripper, 1) "

This #1 New York Times bestseller and deliciously creepy horror novel has a storyline inspired by the Ripper murders and an unexpected, blood-chilling conclusion. Seventeen-year-old Audrey Rose Wadsworth was born a lord's daughter, with a life of wealth and privilege stretched out before her. But between the social teas and silk dress fittings, she leads a forbidden secret life. Against her stern father's wishes and society's expectations, Audrey often slips away to her uncle's laboratory to study the gruesome practice of forensic medicine. When her work on a string of savagely killed corpses drags Audrey into the investigation of a serial murderer, her search for answers brings her back to her own sheltered world. The story's shocking twists and turns, augmented with real, sinister period photos, will make this dazzling, #1 New York Times bestselling debut from author Kerri Maniscalco impossible to forget.

James Brendan Patterson, nacido en 1947 en Newburgh, Nueva York, es uno de los autores más leídos y prolíficos del mundo contemporáneo. Su capacidad para combinar intriga, ritmo ágil y giros inesperados lo ha convertido en un fenómeno editorial sin precedentes, con cientos de millones de libros vendidos a nivel global. Reconocido con premios como el Edgar y la National Humanities Medal, ha logrado además un impacto social notable gracias a su compromiso con la promoción de la lectura, destinando parte de sus ganancias a programas educativos y bibliotecas.

Un ejemplo de su versatilidad es The Idaho Four, donde aborda un caso criminal real con una mirada narrativa que mezcla investigación periodística y tensión novelística. Patterson demuestra así que no solo domina la ficción con sagas como Alex Cross o Michael Bennett, sino que también sabe adentrarse en el terreno de la no ficción con la misma intensidad, atrapando al lector en escenarios tan inquietantes como reales.
