Scotland Yard macht einen grausigen Fund. Eine Leiche, der Kopf, Arme und Beine fehlen. In seiner Verzweiflung wendet sich Inspektor Bradstreet an Sherlock Holmes und Dr. Watson. Als der Meisterdetektiv den Tatort besichtigt, glaubt er, die Identität der Toten zu kennen. Sie steht angeblich in Verbindung zu einem seltsamen Besucher, den die beiden Freunde vor wenigen Tagen in der Baker Street begrüßen durften. Einen seltsamen Kauz namens Ickabod Crane, der behauptet, ein kopfloser Reiter würde ihm nach dem Leben trachten. Schabernack - oder tödlicher Ernst?

Wir sind Monster, böse Geister, Dämonen. Incubi werden wir genannt. Doch als dieses Mädchen trotz aller Vorsicht in unseren Armen stirbt, geraten auf einmal all unsere Regeln ins Wanken.
