DCI Charlie MacIntyre has paid a terrible price for putting the wrong man behind bars - and he won't be the last. Now the stakes are raised for Red to track down the sadistic murderer whose aim is to be judge, jury and executioner of the guilty. But the killer is always one step ahead.
A terrifying picture is beginning to emerge as more killings yield bizarre and grotesque clues. The murderer seems to know more than the police about past miscarriages of justice and suspicion falls on smart-Alec defence lawyer Daniel Jameson.
DI Wilby's boyfriend, tired of intrusive police protection, slips off to the opera - but the killer is still one step ahead and exacts a chilling and surprising retribution. Meanwhile DCI Red Metcalfe is desperate for his wife Susan to spot his brother's killer in a police line-up. He needs to see justice done near to home as the horrors of his job take their toll on all around him.
Even Red's boss, DCS Emerson is caught up in the web of past injustices, when his daughter goes missing. Panic spreads through the murder investigation team as they realise that they and their loved ones could be next.
