Whitechapel

When DI Joseph Chandler is assigned what looks like a simple case of domestic violence, he ends up finding an alternative theory from an expert on Jack the Ripper.

The operation goes horribly wrong when a frustrated Chandler pins his hopes on trapping their latest suspect.

The Ripper must kill one more victim to complete his re-enactment of the 1888 murders. DI Chandler is near to breakdown as he struggles to find an answer. Forensics and CCTV are useless, and the team are forced to rely on their instincts, hoping that the past will provide some clue to the killer's identity. However, time is ticking away, and history tells us that Jack the Ripper was never caught.

DI Chandler, DC Miles and the team investigate a series of brutal killings and maimings. Local history expert Buchan suggests that London once more has a copycat killer - only this time the murders mirror killings by the Kray twins in the 1960s. Miles and Chandler refuse to believe Buchan's theory since the Krays are both dead - but is Buchan on the right path?

Miles learns that a criminal called Billy Bunhill has been shot inside another notorious Kray haunt, The Blind Beggar pub. Chandler's interest is piqued when he realises that the murder mirrors George Cornell's killing by Ronnie Kray in 1966. Who could possibly be trading off the ghosts of the Krays and using their legend to invoke fear and paranoia on the streets of Whitechapel?

With the body count rising and nothing conclusive to pin on the twins, Chandler and his team have no option but to play the Krays at their own game. However, the clock is ticking and the team are forced underground. Can Chandler get his man or will the streets of Whitechapel continue to run with blood?
