Detective Inspector Benedict Paige, investigating, soon realises that somehow these cases are linked. But how exactly? And why?

Each victim had a dark secret. Each of them had an enemy prepared to kill in the name of revenge. 

The killer has a plan and no deterrent is strong enough –  unless DI Paige can stop them before they kill again…
