Tomb Of The Serpent

Superintendent Henry Jarrett thinks he has encountered murder in all its forms, but gory human sacrifice is horribly new. Is there a madman loose in Victorian Glasgow as Jarrett, Inspector Grant and Sergeant Quinn believe - the victims randomly chosen, the killings unpredictable and thus unsolvable? To add to the confusion there is a murder at a travelling fair which appears to bear no resemblance to the others, and the little matter of the valuable artefacts. Jarrett begins to feel the time is right for him to tie the knot with his beloved Elsie Maitland and retire to the seaside before his chief constable demands his resignation.
