Billionaire Sir James Taylor has been missing for three weeks. Then his headless torso turns up in the basement of a disused East London warehouse.
How could someone so rich and famous disappear without a trace?
Chief Inspector Brian Hooley knows his Special Investigations Unit needs help if they’re to have any chance of catching this depraved killer.
And there’s only one man for the job: Jonathan Roper. Roper is one of Scotland Yard’s top investigators — exceptionally clever and doggedly determined. His autism means he sees the world differently, and he’s always spotting things that no one else can.
A break in the case finally arrives. Roper unearths a gruesome snuff video from the dark web. It shows Sir James being mauled by a pair of vicious Neapolitan mastiffs. Then Roper is left hospitalized after he is beaten to a bloody pulp on his own doorstep. It’s a deadly warning from those who want their secrets kept hidden.

A girl is killed in the park one night. The suspect is obvious, but charging him is not so easy…

There are new victims, and the criminal seems to be mocking the police. Sometimes he acts chaotically and stupidly, leaving lots of traces and witnesses, other times—coldly and professionally like a ghost.

Who is the investigation up against—an incredibly lucky amateur or a devilishly clever and cunning professional?

As a practical investigator, Cord has to make a choice: throw all his strength into trying to outmaneuver and capture the killer or try to preserve the personal happiness that he has just found. Will his choice lead to disaster? What if true evil is not the killer at all? What if the true evil is love and friendship?
