Description

In the Soho studio of Bodies magazine are found four corpses: a photographer, his assistant, an actress-student and a young bodybuilder. Perry Trethowan of London’s C.I.D. can’t discern a motive for the murders and soon finds himself involved in the seedy world of competitive body-building and a sinister operation behind Bodies magazine.
