JAKE SAWYER is damaged. Haunted by guilt after surviving an attack that left four people dead, he returns to work under a cloud of professional scrutiny, straight into a disturbing new case.

When the desecrated body of a recently released murderer is dumped at a Peak District beauty spot, Sawyer suspects the killing is delayed vigilante justice. But as further victims emerge, he realises the motive runs deeper into the distant past, and he may be facing an insatiable killer guided by a higher power.

With the murder hunt intensifying, Sawyer's team are pushed to the limit when a lethal old enemy abducts the wife of a high profile politician, forcing him into a dangerous alliance.

As Sawyer grapples with both enquiries, his self-destructive urges threaten to overwhelm him. And when the love of his life is marked for death, Sawyer's long-suppressed trauma finally breaks out in an explosion of righteous fury.
