YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING THIS KILLER WANTS...
When the decomposed body of a young woman is found near railway tracks just outside Bristol one morning, everything points to suicide. That's how the police want it too: all neatly squared and tidied away.
But DI Jack Caffery is not so sure. He is on the trail of someone predatory - someone who hides in the shadows. And for the first time in a very long time, he feels scared.
Police Diver Flea Marley is working alongside Caffery. With the traumas of her past safely behind her, she's beginning to wonder whether their relationship could go beyond the professional. But then she finds something that changes everything.
Not only is it far too close to home for comfort - it's so horrifying that she knows that nothing will ever be the same again.
And this time, no one - not even Caffery - can help her ...

Expertly weaving ancient rites with modern forensics, it draws you in and paints a picture so vivid and compelling in the mind, you'll be hooked from the start...
Just after lunch on a Tuesday in April, nine feet under water, police diver Flea Marley closes her gloved fingers around a human hand. The fact that there's no body attached is disturbing enough. Yet more disturbing is the discovery, a day later, of the matching hand.
Both have been recently amputated, and the indications are that the victim was still alive when they were removed.
DI Jack Caffery has been newly seconded to the Major Crime Investigation Unit in Bristol. He and Flea soon establish that the hands belong to a boy who has recently disappeared.
Their search for him - and for his abductor - lead them into the darkest recesses of Bristol's underworld, where drug addiction is rife, where street-kids sell themselves for a hit, and where an ancient evil lurks; an evil that feeds off the blood - and flesh - of others ...

THE RITUAL HAS TO END. SOON.
