When Detective Inspector Adam Fox relocates with his GP wife to the quiet countryside of Derbyshire, it's a chance for a fresh start for both of them. Haunted by the abduction of their daughter, Fox hopes the move will heal old wounds and allow them to build a new life.
But the ongoing search for Scarlett is met with constant dead-ends, then Fox uncovers a past murder case his superiors thought was closed but isn't and the close-knit community is gripped with fear as bodies begin to rise again.
One by one, victims are hunted down and sadistically murdered, viciously marked with a number carved on each of their foreheads.
Could the murders be connected to escalating violence with organised drug gangs, now seeking revenge on Fox's family, or is it something far more sinister?
Is there a serial killer at large, working in the shadows, planning, pursuing, and executing revenge, each one more sinister than the last or will the hunger for justice destroy the very people that they have a desire to protect?
As Detective Inspector Fox investigates, he must navigate a maze of secrets and betrayal as he begins to unravel the truth behind the brutal killings, with the strength and determination to safeguard his own family from people too close to home.
