Killing the Beasts

The Commonwealth Games are coming to town and the city is alive with possibilities. Caught up in the commercial feeding frenzy is Tom Benwell, account manager at an advertising firm. The pressure is getting to Tom—too many deals to make and lies to tell, and his passion for the job is waning. Meanwhile, his friend, Detective Inspector Jon Spicer, is on the fast track, showing a commitment to his job that borders on obsession. In the aftermath of the Games, a series of brutal killings shatters the city's newfound spirit, and Jon Spicer gets the case. Each victim has been murdered in the same bizarre and grotesque manner, yet the lack of motive leaves the police utterly baffled. With the race on to catch the killer, both men find themselves caught up in a nightmare where the most innocent action can cost the highest price.
