Staffe becomes obsessed with Elena Danya, the dead, blonde & beguiling, high-end prostitute. When another, altogether more down-at-heel working girl, is killed & their mutual, aristocratic friend & bad-girl, Arrabella, goes missing, Staffe is drawn into the whole gamut of London's alien niches: brothels & gentleman's clubs; banks & tenement estates.

When his Chief, Pennington, cuts him loose, Staffe becomes the hunted instead of the hunter, with grave consequences for the women who are close to him. ...
