Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
Part One[[edit] | [edit source]]
Maurice Newbury and Veronica Hobbes conclude their fight with some skull-faced cultists. Inspector Gideon Foulkes comes along, and it is discovered that the cultists are part-man, part-machine, and that they've been abducting people. However, Newbury thinks that they aren't the driving force behind the kidnappings, but rather foot-soldiers. They then return home to their house at Cleveland Avenue, where Newbury's old friend Charles Bainbridge is waiting. He informs them that Archibald Angelchrist wishes to see them, and so they go to his mansion in Oxfordshire, which he recently inherited from his uncle. It is revealed that Angelchrist wanted to see them because he had discovered a strange, inhuman body in a sunken hansom cab in the mere.
Newbury then goes diving in the mere to try and discover more. He finds that the dead driver of the cab had been executed, and the cab deliberately driven into the lake. They decide to seek the advice of Dr John Farrowdene of the Natural History Museum, a specialist in unusual creatures. The body is sent on ahead, and Newbury and Hobbes decide to follow on the next day, after paying a visit to the Queen. Meanwhile, Foulkes and Clarke look at the prisoners. They still have their masks on, as Clarke can't bear to look at them. Foulkes reveals that the kidnappings have continued to happen. Newbury meets Victoria, who warns him that compliance is necessary for survival. At the National History Museum, Farrowdene reveals that the cadaver was once human, but has been biologically altered, and that it was probably the evil Dr Aubrey Knox, an old enemy of Newbury and Hobbes', who did it. They speculate that Angelchrist's uncle was in league with Knox. They then decide to go and visit Aubrey Knox's deserted laboratory in Ladbroke Grove, where they hope to find answers. They discover that somebody has visited the house recently. Elsewhere, an individual claims that "It begins", upon which the cultists blow up the prison.
