THE DOOM OF LONDON is a collection of six loosely-connected stories describing a series of calamities which beset Victorian London. Britain's largest city is overwhelmed by poisonous smog, a plague of diphtheria, a massive blizzard, underground explosions, the pollution of the Thames, and a man-made disaster: stock market manipulation threatens to undermine the empire. Frederick Merrick White (1859-c.1931) was a British author known for his early spy stories. He published more than thirty books during his career.

The murder of Louis Delahay in his studio immediately after his return to London with his new wife seems entirely unmotivated, but when one witness testifies to seeing Mrs Delahay enter the studio with her husband, and another contradicts her assertion that she never left the hotel that night, things look grim for the bride. When Delahay's friend Lord Ravespur is attacked in his own studio, Ravenspur's nephew Walter Lance suspects a connection between the crimes, and attempts to improve his suit with his uncle's attractive young ward by setting off on an investigation that entangles him in a Sicilian feud with a man who can fly by strapping wings to his arms.

David Steel followed his guide with the feelings of the man who has given himself over to circumstances. There was a savour of nightmare about the whole thing that appealed distinctly to his imagination. The darkness, the strange situation, the vivid streaks of the crimson blinds--the crimson blind that seemed an integral part of the mystery--all served to stimulate him. The tragic note was deepened by the whine and howling of the dogs.

Thousands dream of it; still more die for it. Yet, how many can truly bear it? After centuries of bitter conflict the realm of Esmoria is at last united under the banner of a single king. On the surface the realm appears to be enjoying its first taste of peace, but lingering resentment and the untimely death of the new ruler threaten to return Esmoria to political chaos. Meanwhile, in the farthest reaches of the frozen north, a dethroned monarch's plot for revenge awakens a long-forgotten evil. As darkness and treachery descend upon the realm, a young escapee from a forced labor camp, a disenfranchised soldier, and an epileptic engraver's apprentice find themselves at the heart of the troubles.

A brilliant light streamed from the open doorway of No. 1, Lytton Avenue, making a lane of flame across the pavement, touching pinched gaunt faces that formed a striking contrast to the dazzling scene within. Outside it was cold and wet and sodden, inside was warmth, the glitter of electrics on palms and statuary and flowers, a sliding kaleidoscope of beautiful dresses. A touch of this grateful warmth came soft and perfumed down the steps, and a drawn Lazarus huddled in his rags and shivered. "What's all this mean?" he growled to an equally indigent neighbour. There was a clatter and clash of harness as carriage after carriage drove up. "This ain't quite Park Lane, guv'nor."

A Hansom pulled up in front of 799, Park Lane, and a slim figure of a woman, dressed in deep mourning, ran up the broad flight of marble steps leading to the house. Her features were closely concealed by a thick veil, so that the footman who answered the ring could makenothing of the visitor. Her voice was absolutely steady as she asked to see Lord Ravenspur at once. "That is impossible, madam," the footman protested; "his lordship is not yet down, and besides----" "There is no 'besides' about it," the visitor said, imperiously; "it is a matter of life and death."
