The body count in London continues to grow as Scotland Yard are unable to stop the killings. And young James Turrell's mother discovers his secret obsession with the killings. Autumn is a number of things: a coming of age story, a tale of revenge, a study in obsession, and a post war Gothic horror story. Set in and under London, the main characters are not the victims, the hero, or even the serial killer, but the dark underground labyrinth.
