PART 2!!!
In 1942 as World War II raged, the citizens of London began to realize that their greatest threat no longer came from distant enemies. But from one of their own, as a serial killer was stalking women throughout the city's blackout-darkened streets. A killer who the newspapers had dubbed, the Blackout Ripper.  This is part 2 of that story!
