A Study in Red - The Secret Journal of Jack the Ripper by Brian L Porter tells the story of Robert Cavendish, a modern day psychiatrist who is bequeathed a strange set of papers which purport to be the journal of the long-dead infamous Whitechapel Murderer whose crimes gripped the hearts and minds and instilled terror on the streets of Victorian London.
As he begins to read the journal, Robert becomes convinced of it's authenticity and finds that the words of the Ripper have a strange and compelling effect on him. Unable to cast the pages aside he finds himself being drawn into the dark and sinister world of the killer until he is unable to distinguish what is fact and what is fantasy. In short, Robert Cavendish begins to feel as though he is being taken over in some way by the soul of the long-dead Ripper. What happens as he progresses through the journal will disturb and shock the reader as the close dividing line between sanity and madness is explored to the full.

"It was so hard to put this book down. It was at the same time horrifying & wonderful. You wanted to turn away from the horrible murders but at the same time you wanted to see what happened next. A book like this doesn't come along too often!" — Deb (5 out of 5 stars)

" Brian Porter has taken an old story, about some old crimes, and elevated it to become a great drama of horror and plausibility. This is a great book! "
" A clever retelling of the Ripper story. Clever, but something bugged me and I think it was the fact that it was thin material and felt like short story padded out. A denser plot development would have helped. "
" Not quite predictable and yet, not at all thrilling "
