    • Nikki Galena è una detective in gamba, ma non gioca secondo le regole. Di certo non quando ha a che fare con i malviventi responsabili di aver ridotto in fin di vita sua figlia. È anche una donna solitaria, per niente brava nel gioco di squadra. E invece è costretta a lavorare in coppia con Joseph Easter, l’ultimo arrivato alla Centrale, preceduto da una pessima reputazione. Insieme dovranno affrontare due casi apparentemente semplici, destinati però a mettere a dura prova le loro abilità di investigatori. La città è infatti terrorizzata da gruppi violenti che indossano delle maschere: a Galena e Easter il compito di smascherare quei balordi. Ma quello che con grande fatica riusciranno a scoprire avrà il volto dell’orrore. Un incubo al di là di ogni possibile immaginazione...
