A dead woman discovered in a North London flat initially suggests a simple domestic murder, but a bloodstained X-ray fragment found in her hand upends the investigation. Detective Inspector Thorne uncovers a chilling link to his past: the victim's mother was murdered fifteen years earlier by notorious serial killer Raymond Garvey. As connections between the cases emerge, Thorne must confront a hunt that never truly ended in this gripping eighth Tom Thorne novel from bestselling author Mark Billingham.
