About the book

Commander George Gideon of the Scotland Yard is met at the office one morning with news of a sex maniac on the loose and a fire in an old tenement building south of the Thames. Two separate crimes of stunning savagery -- a fourteen-year-old girl raped and murdered, and a family of seven wiped out by an arsonist.
