To the worried American father the plea was simple - "Find my missing son in London."
To Blake it seemed at first a routine assignment, then the straight road of investigation took strange turnings. There were the cases of the murdered tramps, and the outbreak of suicides amongst the university students . . .
It wasn't easy to find the truth amongst the Chelsea 'set' of S.W.3., where the trail started. Instead, Blake and his assistant found a fantasy world of pseudo-artists and their models; probed a dope-ring; met a white-haired young man with a strange philosophy, and a doctor with a stranger practice.
Death and gang-violence joined their search before the riddle of the vanished American student was solved to Blake's satisfaction - if not to that of the police.
