Ripper by Stefan Petrucha (YA)

Carver Young is an orphan.  He finds a letter from his father and is surprised to learn his father is not dead as he always thought he was....and Carver loves a good mystery to solve.  When Carver is adopted by a former Pinkerton detective, he begins to search for his father in earnest.  But his father seems to have a dark side....very dark....and Carver begins to wonder if he really wants to find out the truth. 

This book has great twists and turns to keep readers engaged.  I love reading about Jack the Ripper so that part was a huge draw for me.  Over 400 pages in length, this book flows quickly.  I enjoyed it.
