A Plague of Sinners

"When Hedges fell face first into his dinner after giving birth to an almighty sneeze, the rest of us just sat and stared at the gravy dripping down the backs of his ears. We watched in silence, gaping at the back of his large unmoving head and the pieces of lamb and fish stuck in his hair. His mouth gaped open and a thin stream of sauce dribbled from the side of his mouth." Harry reckoned he was safest from the plague sat tight behind the city walls. Until Nathaniel Hedges dropped dead on the other side of the dinner table. As the pestilence exerts an ever stronger grip on the city population, so Harry is compelled to venture forth into some of the most diseased parishes of London in search of a serial killer. When the companions of the first victim decide that Harry is the prime suspect, then death seems inevitable.
