Synopses & Reviews
When two young female artists are murdered in what appear to be ritualistic killings, the pressure is on to find the highly professional murderer. The arrival of the father of the second victim, millionaire businessman Davor Boras, brings in the Home Office, MI5, the CIA, and the seasoned Detective Chief Constable Bob Skinner. With an estranged son, a dubious assistant, and connections in very high places, its unclear whether business or family is more important to Boras. The killer may have met his match in the Boras family, and Skinners men quickly find themselves at risk of getting caught in the crossfire.
