In-Store Location:
Daphne Dubois is the epitome of done - with dating...with the politics that have driven the world mad... and with people. That's why she keeps her nose in her college books and spends her afternoons hawking obscure treasures in an old antique shop. The people there are as weird as herself, and it's safely away from the hustle and bustle of modern Seattle. The rest of the world may be crazy, but she's content to live her quiet scholarly life of solitude until she gets a fateful phone call from the next city over.
When the voice on the other end tells her that her estranged brother has gone missing under mysterious circumstances, she begrudgingly travels to meet with the detective to find out what they've learned. The only clues that have been found are a shrine to Jack the Ripper and an antique pocket watch that stopped working ages ago. With one wind of the timepiece, her life is turned on its head as she's thrust into the adventure of a lifetime… and a heart-pounding race to stay one step ahead of the nineteenth century's most notorious killer.
