A mid-century crime thriller about a methodical serial killer prowling London's underbelly, built on suspense and the hunt rather than psychological depth.

A serial killer named The Shark is terrorizing London by killing his victims with a speargun and then, dressed in a scruba-diver's wetsuit, using the city's sewer tunnels to make his getaway.
