Before the legend… there was a letter.
London, 1888. Whitechapel trembles under the shadow of brutal murders that no one can explain. The police search desperately for a killer who seems to vanish into the fog after every strike. The newspapers scream headlines. Fear moves through the streets like smoke.

And somewhere in that storm of ink, ambition, and desperation… an idea is born.
A letter.
Mocking. Taunting. Written in a voice that seems to belong to the killer himself. It arrives addressed simply: Dear Boss. Inside, the author laughs at the police, hints at future horrors, and signs with a name the world has never heard before.
