Sherlock Holmes
agrees to take the case of Mr Avery Quill, whose daughter has mysteriously
disappeared. A short time later the girl's body is discovered, accompanied by a
visiting card bearing the head of the mythological Gorgon. No sooner have
Holmes and Watson begun their investigation, than Mr Quill is also killed in
the same brutal fashion, and an identical card found nearby.
Holmes follows the clues - and is warned that
he is to be the next victim! The Baker Street Irregulars find the premises of a
club for disinherited nobles, known as 'The One Hundred per Cent Society' which
uses the Gorgon symbol, but this appears to have no connection to the murders.
The following day Holmes is visited by one of the Society's members, who feels
obliged to warn him that he and Watson are next on the murderer's list!
Holmes continues his enquiries,
despite a first attempt on his life. The trail goes cold but he refuses to
close the file on one of the most sadistic and ruthless criminals that he has
ever encountered.
