Sara Bolten is the wife of a headmaster, mother of a baby son -- she has abandoned them both. Marie is a London-based prostitute, who has also recently given birth. Alexis is a strong blind woman, working as a Samaritan. All three have disappeared, but only one is dead. . .
The killer is clever -- an arsonist, a man possessed, his motives twisted -- and it seems his murderous thirst cannot easily be quenched. In a race against time, Detective Inspector Rydell and his subordinate, Sergeant Denni Caldecote, must track him down before the chilling screams of another woman can be heard.
