A chilling, relentlessly paced thriller of an evil that has
crossed generations, and only Tom Thorne can stop it. From
the author Lee Child has called "the new wave
leader" of crime fiction.
Night and day, country music lover Detective Tom Thorne is
on call to solve the most difficult crimes. It's a schedule
that has pushed his fragile relationship with his
girlfriend to the breaking point. In an attempt to avoid
becoming like the Hank Williams song, "A Stranger in the
Night," Thorne eagerly takes charge of what seems like, for
once, an ordinary domestic murder. But when a mysterious
sliver of bloodstained X-ray that was found clutched in the
victim's fist is replicated at other crime scenes around
the city, it becomes clear that the past is coming back to
haunt the city of London.
Detective Thorne realizes that a killer is targeting the
children of victims of an infamous serial killer from years
before. Before everyone on the list is killed, Thorne must
stop the most twisted killer he has ever hunted.
