Murder as a Fine Art by David Morrell

From the man who brought the world First Blood introducing the world to Rambo, he brings us this murder thriller that has the streets of London in a terror in the 1800s. Taking place 40+ years after the original Ratcliff Highway Murders, there are murders taking place that are strangely similar to the original. Throw in a detective (Ryan), constable looking to become a detective, Thomas De Quincey (aka the Opium Eater) and his daughter look for the killer who has taken inspiration from De Quincey's own essay. The blood spills through the city as the mystery unfolds following some twists and turns bring chaos around every bend. Who is the killer? Why is he doing this? Are they his only victims? This is a good read that you'll find yourself burning through this book in no time as it is hard to put down. It's written well, and the flipping back and forth from the narrator to a journal that gives you a different preservative as worlds collide and the story unfolds. Pick it up, you'll enjoy it!
