An unpredictable killer is loose on the Streets of Glasgow. Black hood pulled up, suddenly apearing out of the shadows, this dark figure is experimenting with murder, again and again. Beginning with brute force and relishing the power of snuffing out another human life, the murderer moves on to poison and drowning, greedy for new and better ways to kill.

Faced with string of seemingly unconnected victims, DCI Lorimer turns to psychologist and friend Solomon Brightman for his insights. Lorimer is also assigned to review the case of a horrific house fire that killed a wealthy couple. His suspicions are raised not only by how well the arsonist seemed to know the house but also by shocking omissions in the orignal investigations. Some uncomfortable questions have been buried but Lorimer is just the man to ask them.

As the serial killer comes close to Lorimer himself and his own family, can the DCI unmask the volatile murderer before next victim is found too close to home?
