On the death of his mentor Bow Street Magistrate De Veil Malachi Smith is handed a file of unsolved “Dragon” murders and that bawd Claudette knows of the Dragons. Claudette informs Malachi that the deceased Magistrate De Veil guaranteed her immunity from prosecution regarding the said Dragons and demands the same from the replacement Magistrate before divulging anything.
In requesting immunity for Claudette Malachi is handed a second file where Magistrate De Veil was investigating the Dragon’s Club. With her continuing immunity acquired Claudette relates her link with the Dragons.
This is Silversmith’s daughter Celine Desprez’s tale of murder abuse and finally, the degradation of being the bawd Claudette of Malachi Smith’s inherited and unwanted well-to-do bagnio on The Strand and her continuing battle for justice against the Dragons.
