Plot summary
In 19th century Britain, men are found dead in the countryside near London, their throats torn open and their blood drained. The witness to the latest killing, coachman Joe Trigger, is driven insane by the sight of the killer and raves about a winged creature with huge eyes. Detective Inspector Quennell of Scotland Yard and Sergeant Allan investigate, and Quennell wonders whether an eagle is loose. Large scales lie at the scene. The two latest victims were students of Dr Carl Mallinger, a renowned entomologist who lives nearby with his daughter Clare and a scar-faced butler, Granger. Quennell takes the scales to Mallinger, who behaves suspiciously and dismisses the eagle theory. Explorer and naturalist Frederick Britewell has returned from Africa with moth chrysalids for Mallinger.
