He's obstensibly 15, and 15 at the turn of the 20th century, when that was basically an adult, and yet he acted and sounded more like a 12 year old kid. Could his dad be the killer? And could the killer actually be Jack the Ripper?Ĭarver just never felt that authentic to me, I have to say. and his father.Īs New York is swept with a wave of serial killings of well-off young women, the case heats up and Carver finds himself in the middle of the mystery. But it isn't long before Carver starts to wonder about their interest in him.
The New Pinkertons, a secret, underground section of the famed Pinkerton Agency, take Carver in and train him up to be a Detective. Carver is adopted - of sorts - by Albert Hawking, a wizened and bitter detective who works at the New Pinkerton Detective Agency. But when the orphanage has to close, Carver, along with his friend Delia and his nemesis Finn, are forced out into the New York world. (Then I'd be really disappointed, but we'll get to that.) Well done, publishers!ġ5 year old orphan Carver Young has never known his parents, but he does know that he was delivered to the orphanage along with a note from his father. Were I browsing titles in the bookstore, I'd snap this one up in a hurry, based solely on the cover and the description. Awesome looking babies, with sharply defined features and without an abundance of annoying qualities! This cover manages to convey the bloodthirsty personality of good ol' Jack and also has a dude in a sharp-looking suit running somewhere! And no one's headless! What up!!! Now THIS is a book cover! I love this cover so much that I'm thinking about making babies with it. Relationship Status: Listen, Book, It's Not Me, It's YouĬover Story: Please Sir, Can I Have Some More?
