Eleven murders. And they’re about to witness the twelfth.
Detective Chief Superintendent George Masters of Scotland Yard and his assistant, Bill Green, have travelled north to consult in the investigation of a series of eleven murders - one a month for the past year.
They have a remarkable theory linking the victims of these unsolved crimes, but the Northern Counties police are reluctant to accept it. To make matters worse, at a performance of Handel’s Messiah they witness the alto soloist fall dead on the stage…
Taking this as their cue, they go into action. Operating in the face of numerous difficulties, including petty police rivalry, Masters and Green endeavour to piece together an ingenious solution to this baffling puzzle.
