To alleviate a typical bout of boredom, Dorian decides to have his appendix removed - again - and checks himself into a very nice private hospital.

The Bright Young Things of the city are living life to the full, when a series of unusual murders strikes the capital.

When a mission to finally see the Northern Lights turns sour, Dorian finds himself stranded in the middle of nowhere. It is only after the kindness of one of the locals that he is rescued, and learns that there may be more to the local legends than meets the eye.8. The Living Image by Matt FittonEngland, 1949.
