Plot summary
DI Jack Caffery gets involved in a frightening case of five mutilated bodies of women whose corpses are found on the outskirts of London. His investigation yields a treasure trove of abominations. Caffery knows his department is looking in the wrong place for the perpetrator. But he cannot guess at the forces he's up against, or the true darkness of a killer's heart. The manhunt builds as a killer is cornered. The sequel is The Treatment.
Critical reception
gollark: I mean, these are reasonable problems, but you do also have to use other people's knowledge to understand things, as muddy puddles won't tell you everything ever about all science.
gollark: Or just complain about them being "brainwashed" at school or something.
gollark: Them not being that is somewhat more complicated and non-obvious?
gollark: I mean, economies of scale.
gollark: Never mind, pretty sure that was entirely comprehensible.
