Having witnessed her callous slaughter, James Hawkins, her lover, who has arrived in London from New Zealand to further his medical study, becomes inextricably involved in avenging her death. The compulsive killer, Pender, along with his malevolent accomplices, Wong and Renoir, fi rst kidnap the scientist and then set about transferring him to the drop off point. Fiendish, sinister and malicious in their every thought and act, a trail of mayhem and carnage is left in their wake. James is hungry to retaliate and avenge Victoria’s murder. The fear of the criminals getting away or the threat of the police intervening thus spoiling his chances to take vengeance brings out both his visceral instinct and his cunning as this macabre story unfolds.
