'A superb, rollercoaster of an opener. Another must buy series.' Ian Cleverdon ★★★★★
A psychopath is hell bent on revenge. A body is found with its fingers amputated, then an investigative journalist is murdered. Bennett's team is faced with some baffling evidence. Hatpins and bicycle spokes become pivotal to the inquiry but the police struggle to connect the evidence. It is only when a Detective Sergeant from the team is kidnapped that Bennett realises that he is the true target.
Following his recovery from a personal and professional trauma, DCI Cyril Bennett returns to discover a complex case involving the art world.

Working their way through a maze of galleries, museums and the Internet, can Bennett's team differentiate between real and fake?
Jars of honey containing pieces of tattooed flesh are the first clue in the search for a missing fourteen-year-old boy. Then another boy goes missing and more honey jars are discovered. A number of leads seem to be going nowhere and the police are running out of time. Can Bennett and his team catch this psychopath before even more damage is done? This will be his toughest case yet.
A domestic dog attack on a child leads to a complex case - the macabre discovery of indiscernible body parts amongst bin bags littering a road on the outskirts of town.

Is there a link between these cases and can DCI Bennett catch a twisted killer before he strikes again?

Bennett and Owen must work together to bring to justice a killer with revenge on his mind.
