She is Catherine Weatherhead, and she is Madame Rostov. She will lie, though not with malice. She will deceive, though often with good cause. And she will change the course of history, for murder speaks to her. In Whitechapel, all talk is of Jack the Ripper, but there is another killer in play, and he most definitely has a name. Mr. Edwin Dry, the Deptford Assassin. The truth is not what you believe. It is what he makes it.

Although The Assassin's Coin is a standalone story, it is also a companion novel to the Jack the Ripper Victims Series novel The Prostitute's Price, by Alan M. Clark. To gain a broader experience of each novel, listen to both.
