The eleventh novel in the bestselling series that inspired BBC’s Lynley

An adolescent boy’s nude body is found mutilated and artfully arranged on top of a tomb. This is the fourth victim in three months.

With the Metropolitan Police failing to realise a serial killer is at work, London ignites over the fact that the victims are young black and mixed race boys. Institutionalised racism is claimed by activists and tabloids alike.

Acting Superintendent Thomas Lynley is given the case, but this psychopathic killer shows no signs of slowing . . .
