When a bloodstained effigy made of body parts is found in a park, DI Daniel Graves must discover what it means and find the person responsible. Symbols at the crime scene suggest the occult. Who is behind this horrific scene and what's his purpose?

As Graves and his partner, DI Charlie Palmer, begin to investigate, they enlist the help of Molly Gooding, a talented professor specialising in the arcane.

Then the next crime scene is found. More blood, more symbols, and again, out in the open.

It seems the killer wants the world to pay attention, but why? How are they choosing their victims?

The pressure is on for Graves to put an end to the murders before more victims appear.

In addition, Graves's past is still not behind him. Someone is eager to make sure he doesn't forget and cannot move on. And they're not playing games anymore. There may be a killer out there, but someone else is out for blood--Daniel Graves's blood . . .
