In his past, there are four possible candidates for the identity of the sender — and each of the four is capable of unthinkable cruelty.
The police are focusing their efforts on finding one of these four — but the further Strike is, the more he is sure that this particular suspect has nothing to do with it. Together with Robin, they are forced to take matters into their own hands and plunge into the abyss of the warped psyche of the other three suspects. But the mysterious assassin strikes again, and Strike and Robin realize that their time is running out …
