Award-winning author and screenwriter Roxanne Gregory, brings the seamy streets of Victorian London to life in Dark Angel of Whitechapel.

This is a fictional recasting of the Mary Pearcey story based on the known facts of her life. She emerges as a monstrous individual, perhaps one of the most loathsome female criminals on record, but also as a very human and tragic figure: one of Roxanne Gregory's achievements is to place 'Jill the Ripper' in the context of her background and times, examining the ambiguities of her personality and the complexities of her moral situation, so that by the end we almost feel sorry for her... David Green --The Ripperologist

What if Jack the Ripper was a Jill? Scotland Yard inspector Frederick Abberline and Sherlock Holmes creator, Dr. Arthur Conan Doyle, believed the Ripper murders were committed by a woman. Were they right?

Nurse and midwife Mary Pearcey faces the gallows but not for her role as 'Jill the Ripper'. Lured by love, hope and promises, Mary begins the Great Work by harvesting organs for an American surgeon who promises a cure for the pox.
