Scores of men and women died daily in London,but on this day of days one of them had died in the very midst of a crowd and the cause of his death was a dagger piercing his heart. Death had become something very real.'When Bobbie Cheldon falls in love with a pretty young dancer at the Frozen Fang night club in Soho,he has every hope of an idyllic marriage. But Nancy has more worldly ideas about her future: she is attracted not so much to Bobbie as to the fortune he expects to inherit. Bobbie's miserly uncle Massy stands between him and happiness: he will not relinquish the ten thousand a year on which Nancy's hopes rest. When Bobbie falls under the sway of the roguish Nosey Ruslin,the stage is set for murder in the heart of Piccadilly-and for Nancy's dreams to be realised.When Chief Inspector Wake of Scotland Yard enters the scene,he uncovers a tangled web of love affairs,a cynical Soho underworld,and a motive for murder.
