Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper
 

"1888, London, Whitechapel district: A horrible series of crimes takes place in this East End district, as horribly mutilated women are found dead. The police have a hard time finding a serious lead and the murders continue, creating a real psychosis. Sherlock Holmes sets out to find clues in the dark, gloomy streets of Whitechapel, searching for the macabre trail of the one that the press calls Jack the Ripper. During the terrifying adventure, Sherlock will attempt to shed some light on the mystery that shrouds the identity and motive of the one who hides behind the terrifying nickname."
