LIVONIA, Mich. - s4story -- Throughout history, the world has witnessed gruesome murders at the hands of the most notorious serial killers. For those never caught—Jack the Ripper, the Atlanta Ripper, and the Cleveland Torso Murderer—their crimes live on in infamy with their identities forever chased.

But all that is about to change with Prudence Blackwood, Stephanie Grey's heroine in The Immortal Prudence Blackwood, which is inspired by a recently discovered 700-year-old Knights Templar cave. "The incredible photographs immediately made me think of a woman living in the 1700s," says Stephanie Grey. "I wasn't sure what she was doing there until I watched a program on Jack the Ripper. Suddenly, I had my writing inspiration. Prudence would hunt the serial killers and dispense justice. She is the reason the murders stopped."
