Hordes of patients are dying all across the city, with doctors finding their remedies powerless. And a whispering campaign seeks to paint Dr James Simpson, pioneer of medical chloroform, as a murderer.

Soon they discover that the cause of the deaths has evaded detection purely because it is so unthinkable.
