Satchmo Turner, proprietor of the Waifs and Strays private detection agency, can feel all of his meagre past success slipping away. His relationship is on the skids, he's flat broke and his business partner is hell-bent on taking a murder case that isn't paying. When a dynamite client proposes a doddle of a job for a bucket-full of cash, it seems like a no-brainer. But with the bodies piling up on the streets of Wolverhampton, and the ghostly hand of the city's founder on his shoulder, Satchmo and his motley group of pseudo-sleuths soon hope it won't be them that end up brain-dead.

The roads of Calcutta are quite the exquisite ones, the outstanding British structures co-existing with the Indian conglomerate and the narrow serpentine roads veining throughout the land has always been a topic of peak interest for various personalities to exploit.

The building was broken and old with vines running through the walls but one room was intact with ofcourse the havildars pointing their guns straight at the door. Why you ask? A supposed wanted criminal is inside the room sitting with an officer interrogating him. The person in question is no ordinary criminal, but one known especially for his brutal notoriety as the devil himself...Or the Baphomet as the Britishers named him.
