Bella Wallis punishes evil-doers by exposing them as thinly- disguised characters in the books she writes under her male pseudonym, Ellis Margam. She surrounds herself with useful men: Philip Westland, possibly a government spy; Captain Quigley, Bella's fixer, and his assistant, Murch, who uses violent means to persuade people.
