Ripper by Stefan Petrucha

This is MY kind of historical fiction!  SERIAL KILLERS...well, one very well known serial killer, Jack the Ripper.  This is the story of Carver Young, an orphan in 1800s New York.  Carver wants nothing more than to be a detective. He gets his wish when events lead him to begin looking for his biological father.  In doing this he gets embroiled in the manhunt for the world's most notorious serial killer, Jack the Ripper.  I loved the author notes at the end of the book where he addresses what things he made up and what things were accurate to the time period.  This was a fantastic read, I couldn't put it down!
