As high society's social calendar opens up and the
Season draws to a close, London is gripped by fear. Someone has
taken to stalking women of the night and painting the town red...in
their blood. The name on everyone's lips seems to be "Jack the
Ripper" - and as a result, the name on Queen Victoria's lips is
Phantomhive. Summoned to London to clean up the mess created by
this madman, Ciel Phantomhive arrives with Sebastian, his
extraordinary butler, at his side to pour him tea, polish his
silver, and...investigate a serial killer. And with the aid (and
occasional interference) of a few of the Phantomhive house's
numerous acquaintances, little stands in the way of the young earl
getting to the bottom of this mystery. However, one question
remains...can he handle the shattering truth behind
it?
