In a Futurist-Victorian London, Ex-Carnie Victor Hart makes his living as a dinner party entertainer and mountebank, using the skills taught to him by his Romani mother – the Patterns. When tragedy strikes a wealthy friend, Victor Hart puts his skills to use in an alternative manner. This Steampunk London has its fair share of psychos, sickos, and sadists, and it takes a special kind of mind to hunt them. Victor sees human behaviour in a way few others can understand but only as an outsider; certain parts of his humanity are missing and that disturbs him. As he solves each seemingly unrelated case, a dark pattern slowly begins to reveal itself threatening the heart of the British Empire and even what we feel makes us human. A Steampunk-detective-noir, darker than most, the first volume features four thrilling cases; the first novel in a Duology.

London, 1888. A serial killer is on the loose in the East End, terrorizing the citizens of Whitechapel. Eight victims have fallen to his knife, and more will follow if he can't be stopped. Inspector Haytham Fletcher and Dr. Ezra Ireland have known each other for years. Through their unconventional methods, they've helped solve case after case of murder in Whitechapel, before, and they've been called in to help find one of the most notorious serial killers of all time: Jack the Ripper. Teaming up with courtesan and friend of the latest victim, Selina Kemp, their hunt for the serial killer will take them through the darkest pits of London society, straight into the hell where the ripper resides.
