Fear of Evil

London, 1596. Hippo Yeoman, an apothecary, is accused of four bestial murders. The highest officials of the College of Physicians - proud, vicious men - have been slaughtered by a serial murderer. He works to a poetic pattern of revenge. And each murder is hideous.

To avoid the gallows, Hippo must discover the murderer’s identity, and quickly. All his friends have the means and motive.

As time runs out, Hippo finds the killer- the one friend he least suspected - and is saved from the gallows. The case is proved beyond all doubt.

But has Hippo found the true murderer? Could the killer - with his monstrous mission of revenge - still be at large?
