Un anno fa, un padre e la sua fidanzata sono stati brutalmente accoltellati nella loro lussuosa casa a schiera, innescando l’indagine per omicidio più importante della storia recente. Le prove fornite dall’esperta di schizzi di sangue, la dottoressa Claudia O’Sheil, hanno fatto sì che l’assassino finisse dietro le sbarre, o almeno così credono tutti.

Dopo il processo, Claudia ha scoperto una terribile verità: le sue prove e la sua testimonianza erano sbagliate. E qualcuno che conosceva se ne è assicurato.

Ora, mentre sale sul palco per tenere un discorso che le segnerà la carriera davanti all’élite londinese, Claudia si trova di fronte a una scelta devastante: proteggere i suoi figli e il suo sostentamento con la sua continua complicità o smantellare l’intera cospirazione e rivelare la verità: non solo il vero assassino è ancora in circolazione, ma è anche tra il pubblico.

Along with his brother, Felix, and beautiful, randy journalist Amelia “Scrappy” Moon, Charlie uncovers strange and frightening details about the compound (read: a massive, doomsday storehouse of weapons, a leashed chimpanzee!) When the body of their key informer is found dead with his arms ripped out of their sockets, Charlie knows he’s in danger but remains dogged in his quest to rescue Meg. Brimming with colourful characters and Lansdale’s characteristic bounce, this rollicking crime novel examines the insidious rise of fringe groups and those under their sway with black comedy and glints of pathos.
