Synopsis

When a young art student loses her head completely, the press dub the cause of her unhappiness "the Chelsea maniac". The method is as gruesomely bizarre as it is effective, and it seems as though no one in the area is safe. This novel won Lionel Davidson one of his three Golden Dagger Awards.
