Introduction
“The Black King,” as the new serial killer in London was labeled, had committed crimes so severe that not even the crimes of Jack the Ripper could be compared to it. The discovery of the first murder made was immediately in all headlines. The news was through out Europe in no time. A woman had been seemingly tortured, raped, and then skinned alive. The case was important, but the girl was not much cared for, for she was only a slave. Soon more cases of female slaves beginning killed caught wind, making slave owners worried and the slave women and their families terrified.
Three months passed and the death toll sky rocketed from five to twelve in no time. Everyday a new headline had to do with a killing and eye witnesses reports of being a witness, sometimes almost victim. All anyone could talk was about the killings, slave owners began trading as many female slaves for at least one male slave as they could in order to keep their names out of the paper. The only things the victims were having in common at the time was the race and job, African and slaves. As hard as police tried no two people could ever give the same description of The Black King, leading police to either he changed aliases a lot or the witnesses were lying.
With Scotland Yard not being able to stop the havoc she asked her trusty "Guard Dog", as he was called, to catch the serial killer. Queen Victoria's dog was Nicholas Cooper, a wealthy plantation owner with a well functioning tea company on the side. For generations the Cooper family had worked under the queen, solving crimes in England that Scotland Yard could not do themselves.
Nicholas of course took the case, with the help of his staff he's determined to catch the crook no matter what lies ahead.
This takes place in 1890 in London, England. This is revolved around Nicholas Cooper, and his staff trying to catch The Black King. All the characters most be apart of the Cooper staff, and most all be baring a secret that could possibly make them the killer, but only the killer them-self know who they are. This is a psychological thriller mystery, if you've ever seen Shutter Island then think of it that way, you never really know what's going on.
