********************************************************* When Bridget Cummings advertised for a lodger she did not expect a policeman to apply for the room. She wasn't fond of the coppers but her family allowed P.C. Fred Billings to move in and she seemed to have little say in the matter. Still she was glad of his company in the walk back from her late-night washing up job particularly when a young girl was found in a nearby street with her throat cut. The discovery of the body of Maureen Flanagan a respectable woman naturally stirred memories of Jack the Ripper. His horrific crimes had shocked the neighbourhood only twelve years before although Chief Inspector Dobbs of the City of London Police believed that the Ripper was dead. But when a second body was discovered and Bridget noticed a strange man following her could the terror have returned?
