Again and again, two people are abducted, imprisoned, and left with a gun. As hunger and thirst set in, only one walks away alive. It's a game more twisted than any Detective Helen Grace has ever seen.

Then, as more people go missing, nothing will be more terrifying than when it all starts making sense.
Notte, periferia di Southampton, una zona malfamata, frequentata solo dai reietti della società. Un uomo giace tra i rifiuti in una casa abbandonata, barbaramente ucciso. L'assassino gli ha strappato il cuore, che viene poi consegnato, in un macabro pacchetto, alla moglie e ai figli sconvolti. La vittima è un irreprensibile padre di famiglia: come e perché è finito in un posto del genere? Il caso è di quelli che fanno gola alla stampa e fanno tremare le autorità: tutto fa pensare che si tratti di un serial killer e la conferma arriva puntuale con il ritrovamento di un altro cadavere orribilmente mutilato. I media parlano di uno Jack lo Squartatore al contrario: un assassino che dà la caccia a uomini stimati e apparentemente irreprensibili con una doppia vita, una sorta di angelo vendicatore senza pietà. Per Helen Grace, ispettore della polizia di Southampton è l’inizio di un incubo. A lei sono affidate le indagini, e nella sua corsa contro il tempo dovrà guardarsi non solo dalle trappole mortali di una mente perversa, ma anche da giornalisti senza scrupoli, da un capo che non vede l’ora di farla fuori e, soprattutto, dai fantasmi del passato, dal suo vissuto personale che emerge con prepotenza e che, come può accadere ad ognuno di noi, rischia di essere il suo peggiore nemico…
