Reeder, a mild-mannered and unassuming detective who works for the London Metropolitan Police. Reeder is called upon to investigate a series of mysterious and seemingly unrelated crimes, including the murder of a wealthy financier, the disappearance of a young woman, and the theft of a valuable necklace. As he delves deeper into the case, Reeder discovers a sinister criminal organization at work, and must use his wits and intuition to outwit them and bring the criminals to justice.
