When two other identical fatalities, a homeless man and an antiques dealers, are reported Austen turns into a medical sleuth, trying to trace the source of the infection to a couple of wooden novelty boxes, each containing a toy cobra that jumps out, spraying a little puff of contaminated dust at the touch of a spring mechanism. After this point of the story where the toy cobras are revealed, the manhunt is on. Dr. Austen begins to find who is doing this and
