Bauer returns to the gloomy moors of England for another riveting psychological thriller (after her CWA Gold Dagger Award-winning Blacklands). A serial killer is brutally picking off the old and infirm in the tiny town of Shipcott, and village police officer Jonas Holly feels powerless to stop the violence. Enter DCI John Marvel, the bullying detective who takes over the investigation and delights in humiliating his subordinates. When the killer sends Jonas a contemptuous note mocking his police skills, the frazzled bobby doesn't even dare tell Lucy, his ailing wife, let alone the obnoxious Marvel.
