The Devil's Workshop by Alex Grecian
386 Pages
This mystery is a sort of mismash of police procedural/horror/historical fiction. A group that has decided to punish prisoners on their own crashes a train into the prison in order to sneak out four murderers soon to die in order to torture these men themselves. However, plans go awry and soon all have escaped to wreak havoc on London, including a fifth person, Jack the Ripper. It is up to Inspector Day and his allies to track down these men before they hurt others.
Parts of the book were good and parts were slow going. I think Grecian may have reached too far to include Jack the Ripper and the plot becomes convoluted.
