DCI Jack Cloth and DC Anne Oldman investigate a series of gruesome murders with the help of pathologist Natasha Sachet and Tom Boss.
Cloth has quit the force, never to return. Well, until a bank robbery goes wrong. But things are awkward at the station, particularly with ACC Tom Boss back at work.
DCI Jack Cloth's brother, Terry, has been killed. The pair weren't close, in fact, they were estranged, but, you know, it still hurts.
