关于作者
After forming an unlikely friendship some two years previously with Professor Ian Robertson M.D (retired) and John Drake S.A.S/S.I.S (retired), the experienced crime reporter Charlie Foster teams up with his friends again to investigate the reappearance of folklore legend ‘Spring-heeled Jack’.
Spring-heeled Jack was the name attributed by the press of the day, but nowadays is only heard when someone witnesses feats of extreme athleticism. Spring-heeled Jack was hardly ever out of the newspapers in Victorian times.
Was he merely an energetic prankster who, over the years, turned into a legendary hero, or was he something completely different? Now it’s Charlie Foster & Company’s turn to try and unravel one of the most baffling mysteries of the Victorian era here and now in the 21st century.
Meanwhile, in the very heart of London, Detective Chief Inspector Fred Tingwell has his work cut out when a copycat ‘Jack the Ripper’ decides to shorten the lives of prostitutes in the Whitechapel area.
With no witnesses, evidence or clues, the talented Fred Tingwell turns to his old mate Charlie Foster for help. Together, with Ian Robertson MD, professor of science and physics, Edinburgh University, retired, and John Drake, ex S.A.S colonel, they combine forces to investigate the legend that is ‘Jumping Jack Flash’ and the perplexing case of the new Whitechapel murders.
All the while, Charlie’s powers grow…
