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: Pretty much. Except Opus.
gollark: I think I may have made JackMacWindows dislike me, or at least my project.
gollark: PotatOS automatically turns it on if available for as yet unidentified porpoises.
gollark: Well, CraftOS-PC supports that as an option.
gollark: I think for a basic standard interface you could get away with something like `thing.run(function)` and it could return a handle which lets you stop it and stuff.
