The Prostitute's Price is a stunning book; richly imagined and beautifully written in a pared-down, modest, unpretentious style. It is a story about love and friendship and desolation and grief, charged throughout with unease and a sense of the fragility of life. Reading Alan's work I always find myself seeking out those small glimpses of light that leaven the sudden violence and suffering - the sizzle of German sausages in a Spitalfields market, the blast of chocolate and mustard from the Taylor Brothers' cocoa factory, a children's toy village where the ghosts of prostitutes walk the streets in safety. I regard the five books that make up this series as unarguably one of the high points in Ripper fiction over the past 130 years --Ripperologist magazine
