Desperate to find a case to justify the teams existence with budget cuts and a police strike on the horizon Quill thinks hes struck gold when a cabinet minister is murdered by an assailant who wasnt seen getting in or out of his limo. A second murder that of the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police presents a crime scene with a message...identical to that left by the original Jack the Ripper.

The inquiry into just what this supernatural menace is takes Quill and his team into the corridors of power at Whitehall to meetings with MI5 or the funny people as the Met call them and into the London occult underworld. They go undercover to a pub with a regular evening that caters to that clientele and to an auction of objects of power at the Tate Modern. Meanwhile in Paul Cornells The Severed Streets the Ripper keeps on killing and finally the pattern of those killings gives Quills team clues towards whos really doing this....
