The Dracula Dossier: A Novel of Suspense - Paperback

by James Reese (Author)

Author of the New York Times bestseller The Book of Shadows, James Reese returns with a remarkable feat of literary invention. In The Dracula Dossier, Reese combines real historical figures and events--Bram Stoker, Walt Whitman, Jack the Ripper--with glorious speculation in a tour de force of suspense fiction that races non-stop through Victorian London. Bestselling author Michael Connelly raves about The Dracula Dossier, calling it, "a damn good thriller...that had me mesmerized from chapter one."

Front Jacket

While taking an evening stroll through one of London's most impoverished districts, author Bram Stoker spies a maddeningly familiar figure hurrying through the shadows. Little does he know that, only a few steps away, a vicious killer has claimed his first victim, a local prostitute. The crime spree of the century has begun--and the hapless writer is the prime suspect. Now, to clear his name, Stoker must enlist the aid of illustrious friends--including Walt Whitman, the wildly popular novelist Sir Thomas Henry Hall Caine, and Lady Jane Wilde, mother of the most notorious literary notable of the day--to hunt down the fiend who is taunting and terrorizing London and calling himself Jack the Ripper.
