For a nasty case of blackmail leads inexorably to murder as Londons literary establishment is rocked by a series of increasingly bizarre deaths. With three members of the London Crime Writers Association coming to sudden and violent ends, what at first appeared to be a series of suicides looks suspiciously like murder and there seems to be something horribly familiar about the various methods of dispatch.With the help of his literary agents assistant, the delectable Maria Dupre, Langham finds himself drawing on the skills of his fictional detective hero as he hunts a ruthless and fiendishly clever killer a killer with old scores to settle.
