Victor pays better than any hospital for the bodies of the very recently dead. Even so perfect specimens are hard to come by... until that Thames-side dawn when Victor waiting wrapped in his greatcoat on his wooden jetty hears the splashing of oars and sees in the half-light that slung into the stern of the approaching boat is the corpse of a handsome young man one hand trailing in the water....
