Faber and Faber, London, 1990, 5^th pr.  ISBN 0-571-14078-5.  MMPB, 190 pages.  Very good; light edge and cover wear with light reading creases.  Binding tight; interior clean and unmarked with tanned pages.  ‘A continuous narrative in the doctor’s own hand, the story opens in the East End of London in 1888.  Three women have been savagely murdered by Jack the Ripper.  To calm the public outcry, Scotland Yard approaches London’s most eminent detective, Sherlock Holmes, and asks him to investigate the mystery.  As Watson faithfully follows the master, recording each trace of the ghastly outrage, the identity of London’s most celebrated criminal comes irrefutably into focus.’ (from rear wrap)
