Plot

Part One

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. 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 National 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 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. At the National History Museum, Farrowdene reveals that the cadaver was once human, but has been biologically altered.
