Picking up where the previous story The London Hanged left off, with Tom Cox and his undead comrades loose in London, the action centres on the area of the capital known as Cripplegate, particularly Grub Street, where many a writer, publisher and poet was known to hang out.1671, in Grub Street the reeks (Tom Cox and Auld Reeky) have came to assault two young boys in their apartment. Mungo is nearby in the Bachus tavern listening to poetry (6 pages).
