    Nel bel mezzo di un’afosa notte estiva, un’ombra si muove oscura, animata da un odio feroce e da un’irrefrenabile sete di sangue. Per la detective Erika Foster è un nuovo caso. Un omicidio, ancora. La vittima è un dottore ed è stato soffocato nel suo letto. Ha i polsi legati e gli occhi gonfi, un sacchetto di plastica trasparente stretto intorno alla testa. Pochi giorni dopo, un altro uomo viene trovato morto nello stesso modo. Erika e la sua squadra si trovano al cospetto di un serial killer freddo e calcolatore: è chiaro che segue le sue prede in attesa del momento perfetto per ucciderle.

Nell’ondata di caldo soffocante che invade Londra, Erika farà di tutto per fermare “l’Ombra della notte” prima che la conta degli omicidi aumenti ancora.

    Il detective Erika Foster ha appena ricevuto una soffiata che le indica il luogo in cui è nascosta la prova per sventare un grosso traffico di droga. Seppure sospettosa, ordina la perquisizione di una cava in disuso alla periferia di Londra. Quello che non si aspetta è che, scavando nel fango, oltre alla droga venga ritrovato un piccolo scheletro, subito identificato. Si tratta di Jessica Collins, scomparsa ventisei anni prima all’età di soli sette anni. Il caso fece un grandissimo scalpore e il mistero dietro la scomparsa di Jessica non venne mai risolto. Cominciando a indagare grazie alle nuove prove, Erika si addentra in un caso difficilissimo, in un costante alternarsi di passato e presente. Dovrà fare i conti con i segreti della famiglia Collins, i rimorsi del detective divorato dal senso di colpa per non aver mai ritrovato Jessica, e un altro omicidio avvenuto vicino alla cava. Chi conosce la verità? E perché qualcuno non vuole che il caso venga finalmente chiuso?
