Na detektiva Phila Brennana čeká v zapadlém městečku Colchester v Essexu šokující scéna vraždy: jedna ze dvou nalezených mrtvých žen byla v pokročilém stupni těhotenství, nenarozené dítě však zmizelo. Bohužel nejde o první případ tohoto typu podobně zemřely už dvě jiné oběti, úvaha o sériovém vrahovi je tedy nasnadě. Kdo by však byl schopen tak hrůzných činů a co zamýšlí s unesenými novorozenci? K vyšetřování je třeba přizvat odborníka na psychologický profil pachatele. Phil se s Marinou Espositovou zná až příliš dobře. Oba musí zapomenout na to, co mezi nimi dřív bylo, a soustředit se na pátrání. Jakkoli se však snaží, není to jednoduché zvlášť, když jejich společná minulost nese své následky.
