Rutter's Reunion: Rutter Books, #2

By David Waine

Nine years have passed since the then Detective Constable Julie Rutter faced a modern-day Jack The Ripper as he made to destroy his final victim, Marie Kelly, in 'Chained in Time'. 
Rutter, now a Chief Inspector, returns to London to find herself investigating three murders, all committed with the same weapon, but not by the same killer. Letters are delivered from the killer. One of them is to Rutter's closest friend.
In this second book in the series, we learn more of Rutter's story, why she got her reputation as a cold fish, and of the awful dream that haunts her sleep night after night — something alluded to in the first book but revealed in this one. 
Her investigations lead her into a web of intrigue where little is as it seems. Even her reasoning is in doubt, as a deeper and yet more sinister motive becomes apparent.
