Stephen Killigan has been cold since the day he came to Cambridge as a junior lecturer. Something about the seven hundred years of history staining the stones of the university has given him a chill he can't shake. When he stumbles across the body of a missing beauty queen, he thinks he's found the reason.

Maria King knows a secret London. Born blind, she knows the city by sound and touch and smell. But surgery has restored her sight - only for her to find she doesn't want it. Jonathan Dark sees the shadowy side of the city. A DI with the Metropolitan Police, he is haunted by his failure to save a woman from the hands of stalker. Now it seems the killer has set his sights on Maria and is leaving her messages in the most gruesome of ways.

Die blinde Maria ist ein "mudlark", sie sucht im Schlamm des Londoner Themseufers nach verborgenen Schätzen. Eines Tages findet sie einen abgehackten menschlichen Finger mit einem gelben Diamantring, dazu eine Botschaft in Braille: "Willst du mich heiraten, Maria?" Detective Inspector Jonathan Dark ist höchst beunruhigt, sucht er doch unter Hochdruck nach einem Stalker, der sein letztes Opfer, Tanya, mit ebensolchen Botschaften beglückte, bevor er die junge Frau tötete.

Seit Stephen Killigan als Philosophiedozent in Cambridge angefangen hat, ist ihm kalt bis auf die Knochen. Sind es die 700jährigen Steine der ehrwürdigen Universität, die ihn frösteln lassen? Als er eines Abends auf die Leiche eines vermissten Mädchens stößt, versteht er plötzlich, warum. Doch der wahre Horror beginnt erst - denn die Tote ist kurz darauf spurlos verschwunden. Seine fieberhaften Nachforschungen führen Killigan in eine Welt von tödlicher Schönheit.

A moment of drunken disrespect sets the stage for the battle for the soul of a man in this Rudyard Kipling classic! A multicast, fully soundscaped audio drama!

Ever notice sounds? I mean really notice them? I do. I don't have any choice, not since I fell into The Loop. And what's The Loop? It's a world - a world of sounds and narration, of incidental music and special effects. The Loop is ambiance, implication, and the subtle - and not-so-subtle - manipulations of the Off-Mike People. But people are the same on or off The Loop, a distressing fact that always seems to add up to Blues for Johnny Raven.
