I just hope it's not Jack The Ripper they're chasing. That's become the most overused plot device for these fantasy / alternative history pastiches. Let me know if it's any good. I'm interested in Victorian/Steam era fantasy fiction with this kind of referencing, but I have also been disappointed by various efforts in this regard.
