Three women have been murdered by being stabbed from behind. Albert Park is terrified. Are they random? Planned? All by the same person? There is no obvious connection between the three victims. Another Jack the Ripper?

Carolus Deene has learned of these murders and is interested in solving them. The police aren’t interested in this amateur detective meddling in the case. What can he find out that they can’t?

Deene looks to find the motive behind the murders by being interested and sensitive to the people in the area. He listens and hears what people say. And when not being badgered by questions, the people can reveal much more.

Deene is nobody’s fool. As he picks up threads and follows them he does find a connection…..one not show more expected. show less
