While the city sleeps, a killer strikes. Detective Bec Pope is waiting in Heathrow departures when the call comes in: a body has been found in a quiet Bloomsbury cemetery. Her long-overdue holiday is over before it begins. It's no ordinary crime scene. The smartly-dressed young man hasn't just been murdered. The killer has left a message - a pentagram, brutally carved into the dead man's chest. Then a second victim is discovered on a patch of scrubland in Bermondsey. Another young man, killed at midnight, just like the first. The same five-pointed symbol etched into his flesh. Bec is on the hunt for a ruthless killer unlike any she's faced before. If she is to crack the case, she must discover what the symbols mean. And why these victims were targeted. With the press circling and the entire city on edge, Bec's running out of time in a case that grows darker by the hour.
