{{work}}

 

On waking on Monday morning from his regular nightmare, Jay Ackroyd's new assignment as Chrysalis' bodyguard gets off to a bad start when he discovers his employer's battered corpse at the Crystal Palace with an ace of spades placed conveniently on top - the calling card of the bow-and-arrow killer, Yeoman. Not trusting the nat police to put too much effort into finding the killer of a joker, Jay sets off to solve the case by himself.

* [[Battle Couple]]: {{spoiler|Wraith and Yeoman.}}

* [[Clear My Name]]: Yeoman has plans for this, but only for the murder of {{spoiler|Chrysalis.}}

* [[Good Versus Good]]: Yeoman and Popinjay have a notable confrontation.
