Poznali byste sériového vraha, pokud byste se s ním setkali? A co kdyby vám každý den servíroval kávu? Grace Murphy nevypadá jako ten typ ženy, která má doma pomalu umírajícího muže přivázaného k židli. Drží se stranou a prochází životem relativně bez povšimnutí: pracuje v kavárně virském Corku a stará se o svou sestru, které poskytuje dobré jídlo a čistý domov, tedy věci, které obě v dětství nikdy neměly. Detektiv Hughes o pohnuté minulosti Grace Murphy dobře ví, vždyť ostatně hluboce zasáhla do jeho vlastního života. Obě sestry stále čas od času kontroluje, poslední dobou je však příliš zaměstnán prací. Ve městě se totiž ztrácejí muži a zdá se, že spolu nemají nic společného – kromě fyzické podobnosti s někým z minulosti Grace Murphy…

A semi-inflated football and a curious little girl. They called it peacekeeping. For Corporal Lindsey Ryan it was anything but. It's been three years since that bright day in the Golan Heights and the explosion which killed two and changed the survivors forever.
