When a string of strangled women are discovered in London—each marked by the same sinister token, a silk stocking—the city is gripped by fear. Journalist and amateur detective Roger Sheringham is drawn into the hunt for a cunning serial killer, relying on his intellect and sharp instincts to unravel a case that baffles both the police and the press. As the body count rises, Sheringham must navigate high society's hypocrisies, Fleet Street gossip, and the shadowy corners of London's dangerous underworld to collect clues and reveal the culprit.

Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Margery Allingham, Freeman Wills Crofts, and classic British detective fiction, this gripping crime novel will delight readers who love vintage murder mysteries, traditional whodunits, police investigations, and suspenseful serial killer thrillers.
