This time round, a 'social editor' of a fashion magazine is discovered dead inside a safe, strangled with a pink nylon girdle, wearing his silk pyjamas with a rose inside his breast pocket. It looks like this might be the work of Satanists but before long the bodies start to pile up when one of Al's colleagues gets killed.'

He tells Al that a lot of pretty, young girls have gone missing in the area, and that he thinks Lynch is involved. Al is talked into going undercover, posing as a Chicago gangster, to infiltrate Lynch's gang and get to the bottom of it.'
