British police are after a serial killer who lures his female victims through newspaper personal ads and sends cryptic poem clues to the cops.

A serial killer in London is murdering young women he meets through the personal columns of newspapers. He announces each of his murders to the police by sending them a cryptic poem. After a dancer disappears, the police enlist an American friend of hers, Sandra Carpenter, to answer advertisements in the personal columns, and lure the killer.—David Levene <[email protected]>
