Description
Now You See Me is a Kirkus Reviews Best of 2011 Mysteries title and one of Library Journal's Best Mystery Books of 2011
One night after interviewing a reluctant witness at a London apartment complex, Lacey Flint, a young detective constable, stumbles onto a woman brutally stabbed just moments before in the building’s darkened parking lot. Within twenty-four hours a reporter receives an anonymous letter that points out alarming similarities between the murder and Jack the Ripper’s first murder—a letter that calls out Lacey by name. If it’s real, and they have a killer bent on re-creating London’s bloody past, history shows they have just five days until the next attempt.
No one believes the connections are anything more than a sadistic killer’s game, not even Lacey, whom the killer seems to be taunting specifically. However, as they investigate the details of the case start reminding her more and more of a part of her past she’d rather keep hidden. And the only way to do that is to catch the killer herself.
Fast paced and completely riveting, S. J. Bolton’s Now You See Me is a modern gothic novel that is nothing less than a masterpiece of suspense fiction.

Advance Praise
“S. J. Bolton is changing the face of crime fiction—if you only read one crime
novel this year, make it this.”
—Tess Gerritsen
“Now You See Me
is really special: multi-layered and sophisticated, but tough
too.”
—Lee Child
“Bolton provides excruciating tension and much
else. Romantics can drool over Jonesbury’s turquoise eyes; amateur psychologists
can mull Lacey’s one-nighters; and Ripperologists can ponder theories of Jack’s
real identity, one of which helps tie up the plot.”
―Kirkus Reviews
(starred review, One of the Best Mysteries of 2011)
“The twists keep
coming, and the truth is not revealed until the final page in Bolton’s best
novel yet.”
