Jacket blurb: "...a bizarre murder... a secluded castle... the Yorkshire moors... (and) ....evolves into a tale of sexual aberration, sadism, lesbianism.. and the frightening concept of erotic books bound in human skin. The men seek power; the women, beautiful and luxurious and debauched, live only for the pleasure of the moment. The underlying motives of the characters are based to some extent on Freudian dreams, which the authors record with striking dramatic detail."
