Ripper Street

As the memory of Jack the Ripper fades, an investigation into the assault of a policeman leads DI Reid and his men to Chinatown, where Jackson discovers evidence of a new and devastatingly powerful opiate.

A young woman is found murdered at The London Hospital, and the only clue to her identity is an unusual deformity. The hunt for her killer takes Reid and the team into the shadowy netherworld.

The abduction of a prominent member of the London County Council introduces Reid to Councilor Jane Cobden, the first woman appointed to the LCC - because it appears the kidnappers are radical supporters of Cobden's aims.

When an Irish explosives specialist is freed, he murders a member of Parliament; Reid must send an undercover agent into the Irish community.

When a Telegraph newspaper boy is murdered, the investigation uncovers a vice racket in the government printing office.

Reid suspects the same hand behind the burning and desecration of churches and synagogues in Whitechapel; an old friend of Drake's wife disrupts the domestic happiness he enjoys.
