The Story of Virna Babineaux

Virna Babineaux, a once famous glamour model/turned prostitute, is stabbed to death in a Southeast London brothel. Several years later, the corpse remains unclaimed until it is inexplicably discovered missing by mortuary staff. Strange goings-on at the victim's former luxury home in Surrey then arouse the interest of local police. However, the case is dropped before the initial investigation is completed. Had there been a possible connection with the missing body? Investigating officer DI Sue Grendel is furious as she believes she was close to solving the mystery. Against her better judgement, she tips off her former lover, the wayward journalist Daniel Blue, urging him to bag a good story. Daniel feels he is on nothing more than a wild goose chase until he inadvertently enters a whole new world of BDSM. It's here, whilst on his quest to solve the mystery and finally get his scoop, assistance comes from an unlikely source.
