The wealthy oil tycoon Archer Kingsman paid a huge sum of money to hire Ben Snow, a fast shooter known in the western United States, and asked him to find his daughter Bess, who had been away from home for six years and sold herself in New Orleans to make a living, and inherit a huge inheritance... At this time, several prostitutes in New Orleans were murdered one after another with cruel methods... Is this serial murder the work of the notorious "Jack the Ripper" in Britain?

Unexpectedly, on the carnival night before Lent, the "Stowell Ripper" sneaked into Bess's bedroom... Edward Hawke, the king of contemporary short-form mysteries, reinterprets the devil's legend, and the dark story is chilling!
