A very good mystery directed by Franz Josef Gottlieb and written by Bryan Egar Wallace. Dark and a little creepy. Not exactly predictable. Interest builds like a fever. Scotland Yard Chief Inspector Patton(Dieter Borsche)investigates the murders of several high-profile citizens of London. An attractive mystery writer Clarinda Smith(Barbara Rutting)asks to assist in the investigation to get material for her new book. She promises Patton that the mystery will be solved and the murderer revealed on the final page of her book. All victims just happen to frequent a Soho nightclub and lured to a neighboring hotel by a pretty photographer. The men are murdered by a gloved and masked killer with a magician's knife. Also in the cast: Hans Sohnker, Peter Vogel, Elisabeth Flickenschildt and Wemer Peters.
