C’est un médecin généraliste consciencieux et tenu en haute estime, mais quand son frère est découvert la gorge coupée, sa colère ne connaît plus de bornes et il commence à contempler la vengeance. Des vauriens bien connus, qui ont réussi à contourner la justice grâce aux efforts d’un des plus astucieux des avocats de Cairnburgh, commencent à disparaître.Pour Rhona Kirk, continuer sa vie veut dire en garder la maîtrise…
Victime de viol, elle commence une nouvelle vie à Dundee mais le trouve difficile de se libérer de son passé, et puis les hommes avec qui elle est liée disparaissent eux aussi. Quand les menaces commencent, Rhona, tout en sachant que c’est une erreur, accepte l’aide d’un admirateur.Pour le Commissaire Jack Carston, rassembler les pièces du puzzle est une course contre la montre…
Il cherche les liens entre toutes ces personnes disparues, tout le temps conscient de ses propres impulsions plus sinistres, et sentant le lien puissant avec ce meurtrier vengeur. Ce qu’il découvre dépasse ses cauchemars les plus fous.Est-ce que la justice restera aveugle lorsque les ténèbres envahissent l’âme ?
