In the magic of a late nineteenth century London, murders, prostitution, intrigue, alliances, revenge and love come to life in the neighborhood of Whitechapel. A setting that brings the reader at night in the muddy streets, in the bad places, between gaming tables. A story made up of ambitious, astute and proud people willing to do anything to get their own redemption from life.
Whitechapel is a mysterious and complex place, a foggy neighborhood whose alleys, at night, seem to be crossed only by the icy air of late nineteenth century London. Yet in those streets move monsters. The anguished series of brutal murders committed by the serial killer Jack the Ripper, acts as a backdrop to the bellicose and cruel events of the protagonists of the story. Everything revolves around a house of appointments and it's business. Violent and unscrupulous characters are competing for power and money between a cigar and a gambling poker establishing dark alliances and bloody feuds. Among them there's Miriam, a daring and reckless prostitute forced to reckon with the fear for the ruthless serial killer, but also and above all with the fierce array of exploitative misogynists and rogue men with whom she interacts, often emulating the methods. In this succession and overlapping of murky plots there is also space for love. A concrete, passionate, carnal love, which, however, can also allow itself rare moments of kindness, rapture and ecstasy. The language and the dialogues give strength to the rapid and pressing rhythm of the story, which captivates the reader and catapults him into a surprising and disturbing ending, so much so as that it seems almost surreal.
