When two vulnerable women vanish from the streets of East London within weeks of each other, detectives uncover a chilling predator hiding in plain sight. Derek Brown, a convicted rapist and serial sex attacker, targeted Xiao Mei Guo, a mother selling DVDs to support her family, and Bonnie Barrett, a young woman struggling on the margins of society. Both were last seen with Brown before disappearing forever.
Despite extensive searches, neither woman's body has ever been found. Inside Brown's flat, investigators discovered traces of blood, evidence of a frantic clean up, and purchases suggesting careful planning. As police piece together the case, they begin to fear Brown was seeking infamy, deliberately hunting victims in Whitechapel, the infamous territory of Jack the Ripper.
A haunting story of loss, vulnerability and a killer who may have been stopped before striking again.
