A young woman's body has been discovered, dumped on wasteland near the Millennium Dome. Caffery's initial inspection of the brutally mutilated corpse will forever sear his psyche. One by one, four more ritually murdered corpses are found only steps from the first, each with a singular, macabre signature linking the victims.
