Mangled fingers have been turning up all over London and the inhabitants are scared. Ten murders in ten weeks, all committed with a pistol, and still nobody has a clue who the cowardly killer is.
Peter Andrew Scully is a hairy and patient painter with a fondness for bird watching. He doesn't know it yet but he is the only one who can stop the snooty killer.

He enlists the help of a generous gardener called Steve Randall.
Can Randall help Scully overcome his cigarettes addiction and find the answers before the violent killer and his deadly pistol strike again?
