Private enquiry agent William Monk is hired to investigate a potential case of fraud in the construction of a new railway line. His client is the fiance of a man she fears is embroiled in the scheme, and Monk's investigation causes a strange sense of deje  vu -- a former policeman afflicted with a case of amnesia concerning his prior life, Monk finds both the case and its milieu unsettlingly familiar.

His case is somehow connected to the death of a railway magnate in a sleazy area of London where Monk's wife Hester, a nurse, operates a shelter for abused prostitutes. The women have been doubly victimized by an extortion scheme in which the dead man, who turns out to have been Monk's employer during his "lost" years, may have been involved.
