Er hat das Morden im Blut. Eine Frau wird am Rande der Lincolnshire Fens brutal erstochen. Kurze Zeit später gesteht ein Mann namens Daniel Kinder den Mord. Ihm liege das Töten im Blut, genau wie seiner leiblichen Mutter, einer skrupellosen Serienmörderin. Doch die ermittelnden Detectives Rowan Jackman und Marie Evans plagen bald Zweifel an seiner Schuld, denn Daniel hat immer wieder Erinnerungslücken. Aus Mangel an Beweisen sind Jackman und Evans gezwungen, ihn gehen zu lassen. Innerhalb weniger Tage verschwindet Daniel – und das einsame Moor wird zum Schauplatz weiterer Morde … Der Auftakt einer starken neuen Crime-Reihe aus England rund um ein außergewöhnliches Ermittler-Team. Joy Ellis kam über ihre Arbeit als Buchhändlerin zum Schreiben. Bei den Ermittlungsdetails ihrer Fälle verlässt sie sich auf ihre Partnerin, eine pensionierte Polizeibeamtin. Sie lebt in den Lincolnshire Fens, wo auch ihre Kriminalromane spielen.

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...
