As he delves deeper into the case, he discovers that the victims are all connected through their attendance at music hall performances featuring a popular singer named Elizabeth Cree. The narrative unfolds with flashbacks revealing the life of Elizabeth, her husband John Cree, and their relationship leading up to his mysterious death.
