October 1957. Thomas Nightingale, Chief Inspector and wizarding
legend, reunited with an old friend he met during the Second World
War. The friend, Angus Strallen, was in pursuit of a serial killer,
Professor Uwe Fischer, a Luftwaffe pilot who settled in Cumberland
after the war to work in a factory. Fischer had been targeting women
of different cultures which led him – and Strallen – to the cultural

Metropolitan Police, Fischer kept evading capture, putting his own
magical powers and good political relations to use. But as the
German scientists read American comic books in his hotel room,
Strallen’s partner in crime (and romance), Dr. Jacqueline Frye,
acquired a very helpful package from Fischer’s home in Cumberland
which was soon on its way to London: a scarf. Paired with the
powerful nose of a bloodhound named Hesperus, Nightingale and
Strallen’s hunt for Fischer is afoot…
