Deep, red wounds marked with sprawling lightning scars mar the victims. Any possible witnesses sport the same lightning scar on their heads--and their memory erased.

Sick of the distress and growing distrust of his family, Erik sets out to find the murderer and end his crimes. But as Erik pieces the puzzle together, he discovers that finding the Ripper would take its toll.
