Then one day, as she operates the zoom on her binoculars to look inside the princess’s flat, Dory witnesses an act of terrifying violence…

Meanwhile, Detective Superintendent George Macrae and Detective Sergeant Leopold Silver have been called in to investigate a series of burglaries in the area. 

Then the seemingly routine case takes on a frightening dimension when they come across a battered body in an empty flat…

But who has been murdered, and why?
