When enigmatic letters arrive at the police station, DCI Peter Pascoe becomes suspicious of their sender, an ex-convict with a hidden agenda. As DS Edgar Wield intervenes in a suspected kidnapping, he takes on a vulnerable rentboy who harbours a life-changing secret. Meanwhile, young DC Bowler looks forward to a weekend getaway, but his girlfriend's dreams are filled with a horror that she dare not share. Even Detective Chief Superintendent Andy Dalziel, renowned for his omniscience, is unable to foresee the disaster that is unfolding. As the story unfolds, Reginald Hill masterfully weaves together multiple plot threads, creating a thrilling and unsettling narrative that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
