      Sériový vrah až do morku kostí. Psychopat mnohem děsivější než Hannibal Lecter. Plánoval dobře. Vede dva životy. V jednom je stejný jako kdokoli jiný. Ale v tom druhém je správcem morbidního muzea své rodiny. Nyní nastal čas na rozšíření sbírky. Je připraven nasytit svou posedlost, a je na lovu. Jakey Frith a Clara Foyleová mají něco společného. Mají něco, co on potřebuje. Začíná děsivá hra na kočku a myš mezi hrozivým sběratelem, Jakeyho otcem a Ettou Fitzroyovou, utrápenou detektivkou, která náhlý příval únosů vyšetřuje. Příběh knihy Chrastění kostí Fiony Cummins je zasazen do londýnské čtvrti Blackheath a zkoumá ten šev temnoty, který prochází námi všemi; zápas mezi světlem a stínem, vykoupením a pomstou. Je to náhled do mysli psychopata. A je to také příběh o nevzdání se naděje ve chvíli, kdy se zdá, že veškerá naděje je již ztracena.
