[edit] Plot summary

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Someone is killing residents of the hip, bohemian, London neighborhood, home to literary giants of the past like Virginia Woolf. What thread connects them in someone's mad mind? The only clue is a fragment of film, which accidentally caught images of the murderer, dressed in an outlandish costume and mask.
