È una calda notte di giugno, e Kirsten sta tornando a casa dopo aver celebrato con i compagni la laurea. Mentre attraversa il parco, qualcuno la aggredisce con selvaggia violenza: quando si risveglierà dopo giorni di coma, ricorderà solo, come in un incubo, due figure che incombono su di lei, una bianca e una nera, e una mano callosa che la stringe; e scoprirà di avere terribili ferite inflitte con un coltello, e che nulla sarà più come prima. Altrove, in una cittadina di pescatori sulla costa dello Yorkshire arriva Martha, una giovane donna che sta scrivendo un libro. In realtà, Martha cerca con feroce determinazione una persona precisa. Intanto, un serial killer continua ad aggredire e uccidere ragazze sole.

The seventeenth instalment in the Number One bestselling DCI Banks series When Karen Drew is found sitting in her wheelchair staring out to sea with her throat cut one chilly morning, DI Annie Cabbot, on loan to Eastern Area, gets lumbered with the case. Back in Eastvale, that same Sunday morning, 19-year-old Hayley Daniels is found raped and strangled in the Maze, a tangle of narrow alleys behind Eastvale's market square, after a drunken night on the town with a group of friends, and DCI Alan Banks is called in. Banks finds suspects galore, while Annie seems to hit a brick wall - until she reaches a breakthrough that spins her case in a shocking and surprising new direction, one that also involves Banks. Then another incident occurs in the Maze which seems to link the two cases in a bizarre and mysterious way. As Banks and Annie dig into the past to uncover the deeper connections, they find themselves also dealing with the emotional baggage and personal demons of their own relationship. It soon becomes clear that there are two killers in their midst, and that at any moment either one might strike again.
