'In The Looking Glass Ripper, Gordon Finlay displays a rare mix of imagination, writing skill and deep learning to create a new and exciting twist to the enduring story of Jack the Ripper' David Hatcher Childress. The underlying theme of The Looking Glass Ripper is the eternal battle between good and evil. It is at once a crime thriller and a love story. The crime is the Jack the Ripper murders in London's East End in 1888. The love story explores one man's present day infatuation with the Ripper's last victim, Mary Kelly, and his seemingly impossible quest to save her life. The story begins in Ancient Egypt and the discovery of records from before the Flood. It ends with the discovery in the Pyrenees of a remarkable object, a sacred prize that drives Jack to kill the women of Whitechapel. Among the good are characters such as Welshman David James, Lewis Carroll, Victor Hugo, Pope Leo XIII and the Sacred Prostitutes of the Rue d'Amboise. At the opposite pole we meet a High Priest of Egypt, the King of the World, grey aliens, Spring-Heeled Jack, Eddy, and the sinister Cabal. We also meet sensationally unexpected characters on both sides of the divide. And all the while, straddling the line between good and evil, is the mischievous and unpredictable Celtic goddess, Morrigan. The Looking Glass Ripper tells the story of the murders carried out during the Autumn of Terror in a brand new way. It is, quite simply, an extraordinary, exciting and hugely imaginative new work
