Publisher's Synopsis
They call him the Pugilist. It is the dawn of a new century and a vigilante is on the loose. The scourge of teh criminal underclass. The saviour of the virtuous and the protector of the weak. The police are baffled, the public enamoured but Professor George Litefoot and Henry Gordon Jago are on the case. Or at least they will be when they've finished their beer. What is the source of The Pugilist's spectacular supernatural powers? Is he alone in his noble quest? And what is his connection to the spate of corpses discovered around London?
