When a note in a murdered girl's pocket bears the telephone number of private detective Rex Dubarry, he feels compelled to investigate. He needs to learn more about Pauline Hailey, and begins to build a picture through her chapel pastor father and the people she often met at the Excelsior Club in Soho. Working with their Scotland Yard friend Superintendent Paul Brunell, Rex and his young assistant Tom Gillespie soon have no doubt that a major criminal organisation is responsible for the murder and that Pauline's contacts know more than they admit.

What is the significance of the limping man who is watching Rex's office, and how is he linked with a Parisian nightclub owner? Are the attractive blonde trumpeter and her brother as innocent as they seem? Suspicious characters abound, the body count mounts up, and Rex is faced with attempts on his own life.

But the ultimate question that must be resolved is - Who is Lucifer?
