Comment

What you need to know before your trail

A man wakes in a cell. He doesn’t know who he is or how long he has been here. All he knows is that someone has left the cell door open . . .

Nevil Hammersmith is a former Metropolitan Police sergeant. He became a private detective when his colleague Walter Day went missing investigating the Ripper case. He’s been looking for Day for an entire year, but it is as if his friend has completely vanished from the streets of London.

No one has heard from the Ripper in a long time either…

But the Ripper has plans for the city and the man in the cell – the man he believes is just like himself . . .

Travel Guide

Nevil Hammersmith’s tour of London

Moorgate Station

Plumms’s Emporium sits at the south end of Moorgate in the novel and it’s not far from where Walter Day was imprisoned. It does sound nice with a glass front and tea shops and restaurants in there as well as a bank. The men who work in Plumm’s Emporium are housed in apartments opposite Coleman Street

New Scotland Yard, Metropolitan Police

The police and murder squad are based here. It would have looked quite a bit different back in the day but you could stand there, beside the revolving sign and imagine the horses clomping past, the policemen going in and out with their black capes and maybe spot Walter Day and Nevil Hammersmith.

Camden

Nevil Hammersmith has his offices here and he has a two room suite. Maybe he’s invite you in for a cup of tea. If not, the nearby market is a good place to get one.

184 Regent’s Park Road

The house in the last novel and again part of the mystery. A residential street with nice houses but if you stand at the end and image it in Walter Day’s time, and the creepy world this would have been part of.
