November 1891 New York and after a prostitute is found murdered there are concerns that Jack the Ripper has travelled from England. Or is it a copycat murder. One of the original surgeons/criminal analysts, Finley Jameson, is in New York and he teams up with Detective Joseph Argenti to investigate the case. But this is not the last body discovered.
A story and mystery that I enjoyed reading, with its cast of complicated characters. Hopefully this is the first of a new series. If so this is a very good solid start to it.

Past Imperfect by John Matthews is the parallel stories of 2 young boys, one the victim of sexual abuse/murder and one the victim of a auto accident in which both of his parents are killed. It was a very intriguing novel. As well, I learned a lot about the French judicial system. 400 pages

This book took a long time to get going and I nearly gave up on it but I am very glad that I didn't. Once it going it was an amazing adventure encompassing many different facets. From a crime family trying to go straight and not always succeeding to an aid worker kidnapping a child and going on the run. The last few chapters will take you on a roller-coaster of emotions as you try to decide who is telling the truth.

This is the tale of Larry Durrant, on death row and his attorney, Jac LeFranc. The setting is New Orleans and the plot has many twists and tales; some violent parts. This was a free Kindle book and included both part I and part II.
