Two Series of Murders Seem Mysteriously Connected
Step into True Colors -- a series of Historical Stories of
Romance and American Crime
Three years before Jack the Ripper began his murderous spree on the
streets of London, women were dying in their beds as The Midnight
Assassin terrorized the citizens of Austin, Texas. Now, with
suspicion falling on Her Majesty’s family and Scotland Yard at a
loss as to who the Ripper might be, Queen Victoria summons her
great-granddaughter, Alice Anne von Wettin, a former Pinkerton
agent who worked the unsolved Austin case, and orders her to
discreetly form a team to look into the London matter.
The prospect of a second chance to work with Annie just
might entice Isaiah Joplin out of his comfortable life as an
Austin lawyer. If his theories are right, they’ll find the The
Midnight Assassin and, by default, the Ripper. If they’re wrong, he
and Annie are in a bigger mess than the one the feisty female left
behind when she departed Austin under cover of darkness three years
ago.
Can the unlikely pair find the truth of who is behind the murders
before they are drawn into the killer’s deadly game? From Texas to
London, the story navigates the fine line between truth and fiction
as Annie and Isaiah ultimately find the hunters have become the
hunted.
