A Deadly Deception
(2019)(The third book in the Constance Piper Mystery series)
A novel by Tessa Harris
Can Constance Piper stop a chilling conspiracy threatening Whitechapel before its greatest evil strikes again?
London, July 1889. Eight months have passed since the horrific murder of Mary Jane Kelly. The residents of Whitechapel have begun breathing easy again – daring to leave windows open and walk about at twilight. But when old Alice Mackenzie is found dead, throat slashed almost from ear to ear, the whispers begin once more: Jack the Ripper is back.
Constance Piper, a flower seller with a psychic gift, was a friend to both women. With the supernatural help of her late mentor, Miss Emily Tindall, and her more grounded ally, police detective Thaddeus Hawkins, she uncovers links between the murders and a Fenian gang. The Fenians, committed to violence to further their goal of an independent Ireland, are also implicated in a vicious attack in which the Countess of Kildane's uncle was killed. Could the Whitechapel murders be a ruse to make the British police look helpless?
With a bomb plot intended to destroy the city and spies everywhere, Constance is soon called upon for help. As she will soon discover, the greatest evil may not lurk in the grimy alleys of the East End but in a much higher office …
