Legend states the Devil once danced in Bleeding Heart Square and left a murdered and mutilated woman behind him. Formerly the site of a grand medieval palace, it is now, in 1934, a decaying North London cul de sac. At the lodging house at no.7 resides a collection of tenants with equally colourful histories, including the sinister Samuel Serridge, alcoholic Captain Ingleby-Lewis, struggling journalist Rory Wentwood and Lydia Langstone, a young wife fleeing her abusive, Fascist husband. But there is a mystery lurking in the dark and creaking corridors of 7 Bleeding Heart Square. What happened to Miss Penhow, the middle-aged spinster who owns the house and who vanished four years earlier? Why is a seedy plain-clothes policeman obsessively watching the square? And why are parcels containing goats' skulls and sheep's hearts being sent to Serridge, the last person to see Miss Penhow alive...?
