    V londýnských parcích řádí přízrak – brutální vrah, který své oběti, mladé ženy, nejdřív ubije a pak spálí. Případ se dostane do rukou mladé ambiciózní kriminalistky Maeve Kerriganové, která v něm vidí především velkou šanci prosadit se v převážně mužském světě oddělení vražd. Její kolegové považují Maevinu schopnost empatie spíš za slabinu než za přednost, jenže jak se Maeve dozvídá o poslední z obětí víc a víc, její odhodlání vypátrat jejího vraha a dostat ho před soud sílí a přináší i některé překvapivé objevy. Bude to ale stačit k dopadení vraha, kterého nikdo neviděl, zvlášť když všechny případné důkazy zničil oheň – a když ani nadřízení mladé kriminalistky nejsou tak docela na její straně?

  2. V očích veřejnosti je za hrdinu: vrah, jehož oběťmi jsou usvědčení pedofilové. Dva muži jsou již mrtví - umučil je k smrti. Ani pro samotnou policii nejsou tyto případy prioritní. Většina vyšetřovatelů považuje pár mrtvých pedofilů za krok správným směrem. Podle kriminalistky Maeve Kerriganové by ale nikdo neměl mít dovoleno brát zákon do vlastních rukou. Mladá a nezkušená Kerriganová pevně věří, že vražda zůstává vraždou, ať už se oběť provinila jakýmkoliv hříchem. Se stupňujícím se vrahovým násilím je ale nucena přehodnotit, jak daleko je až ochotna zajít, aby bylo spravedlnosti učiněno zadost…
