A series of murders in the West End of London baffle the officers of Scotland Yard and draw the interest of a crime reporter to the case.
While TV Guide called it an "outdated mystery yarn",[5] Moria wrote that "East of Piccadilly gets by on a certain snappiness. The dialogue often has a dry wit about it."[6]
