‘The killer in the fog’ was an idea that long frightened and intrigued the public as well as crime writers. Detectives and forensic scientist compiled their evidence bit by bit, proving without a doubt that the most deadly killer was the fog itself...

"My painting is about the beguiling, seductive, killer fog itself. I
depict the threat and the beauty of the yellow fog, and reveal some of the components that made it so".
