A new boss causes problems for Tony & Carol & Tony finds himself persona non grata & banished to a different police force, however, their separate cases involving the murders of several young people gradually dovetail into the same case. The teenagers are disappearing after being befriended by a mysterious perp online & their mutilated bodies found shortly afterwards. Tony is convinced there isn't a sexual component to the murders so why the mutilation? Meanwhile, following his father's death, Tony finds himself drawn to his home & gradually learns more about Edmund Arthur Blythe.
This was a return to form after the ho-hum of the previous book: pacier with a tightly written plot. There's less gore in this one too as the murders happen 'off page' but there are still a couple of grisly descriptions of the aftermath. The conclusion also hints that there may be some movement in Tony & Carol's personal relationship at last.
