The Legend of Spring-Heeled Jack by Samuel Clark

The Legend of Spring Heeled Jack is a Penny Dreadful style mystery horror set in the late 19th century. A fictionalised account of the Spring Heeled Jack legend, it concerns an aristocratic woman's efforts to join the Metropolitan Police force, but all her attempts are thwarted until she disguises herself as a man. She then finds herself partnered with a pompous Detective Inspector and on the trail of Spring Heeled Jack - a notorious murderer of London's womenfolk who leaps inhuman distances, spits blue flame, wearing a hideous Devil like mask.
