Exceptional Story for June: Infernal Vice

Welcome, fair Londoners, to this corner of Spite

Where the coffee is hot and the dangers are slight!

With the exception of a recent attack by a snuffer,

But since the victim had no face, we don't know if he suffered.

What links a railway disaster at zee, a devil with many faces all the same, and the advent of the worst poet to ever commit violence to the English language? Unravel an infernal web of corporate malpractice and poetic malfeasance to unmask a conspiracy striking at the heart of London's public works. Will you achieve justice for its victims, restitution for the dead, or even just compensation for risking life and limb listening to this benighted poetry? Remember, the devil is always in the details.
