Annie Chapman led a hard, lower class life in filthy 19th century London. Late in life, circumstances and her choices led her to earn her crust by solicitation. After a bruising brawl with another woman over money and a man, she lost her lodgings and found herself sleeping rough at night in London’s East End. That turn of events was the beginning of the end for her. Exposed to the dangers of the streets with nowhere to retreat, making desperate choices, she unknowingly delivered herself into the hands of London's most notorious serial killer, Jack the Ripper. Contrasting her last week alive with the experiences of her earlier life, the author helps readers understand how she might have made the decisions that put her in the wrong place at the wrong time. This novel is part of the Jack the Ripper Victims Series. Each novel in the series is a stand-alone story.
