A party is being held for the launch of Buchan’s first book called ‘A History of Murder in Whitechapel’. The team attend to offer him some moral support.

A connection to a 16th century murder seems to confirm that someone is killing witches in Whitechapel, but the investigation is impeded when a link to present-day espionage attracts the attention of the security services. Chandler is on the case, only for it to appear that there may be a malign influence at the very heart of the team.
