5 Kapitel Laufend ErwachseneninhaltIn 1888, a series of murders creates an atmosphere of panic in London. But not everyone feels the same: Miss Holy Gray has intelligence, heritage, beauty, and above all, curiosity. As the death toll in Whitechapel rises, Holy's interest in the tragic crimes grows, and with the help of Count Henry Gray, her twin brother and secret lover, the girl begins to visit the crime scenes to paint the mutilated figures of the women who perished under the blade of the mysterious killer.
Meanwhile, news of Henry's impending and unexpected marriage puts the twins' relationship to the test -- and Holy feels pressure to find a suitor for herself. Her fate thus crosses that of Dr. Jack Fraser, and the attraction between the two is immediate and intoxicating. But as the couple's relationship deepens, Miss Gray must confront Jack's darkest nature while dealing with her brother's jealousy, possessiveness, and secrets, as well as the unwelcome presence of her future sister-in-law, Cassandra.
Driven by her passions, Holy embarks on an irreversible journey among assassins, nobles, doctors, and evildoers, each at the mercy of their own perverse psyches and unique morals, to discover not only where her heart lies, but also what her true nature is, and how far she is willing to go to protect those she loves, while fulfilling her most disturbing and intimate desires.
