- When a very popular prostitute specializing in kinky sex is found garroted and and the bordello survives an arson attempt, Murdoch looks on her clients for a suspect.
- Detective Murdoch investigates the murder of a prostitute, Cora Devereaux, in a posh bordello. The girl was garroted and had only been working there for about six months. She was popular with the establishment's clientèle and according to the house's madame, Ettie Weston, she had to that evening remove one particularly obsessed customer, Arthur Webster, a well-known artist. The autopsy reveals that the dead woman had been drinking absinthe and shows no defensive wounds but did have old scarring from possibly having been whipped. In addition to the artist, suspicion falls on a prominent judge who eventually admits he awoke in the dead woman's room and found her dead, but remembers nothing else. The solution to the murder is nearby, however.—garykmcd
- After a molotov cocktail causes 'West Music Academy' luxury brothel to be evacuated -with prestigious clients, even the mayor- popular whore Cora Devereaux is found left in her room, fatally throat-slit. Murdoch knows the madam Ettie Weston, whom he saved in a previous case, and presents her uneasily to Julia, who finds marks on Cora suggesting long abuse, possibly SM. That seems to fit presumably last and forcibly removed client Arthur Webster, obsessed with painting her, but she was his dom and he commits suicide, or one is staged. Judge Mitchell Wilson fails to deny he was also client that night, oblivious due to absinthe, and his spoiled playboy son Paul suspiciously helpfully provides incriminating evidence. Brackenreid grumbles about haughty visits from Temperance League official Levi Beecher, who surprisingly fits in several dark pasts, also in Montréal.—KGF Vissers
