When a retired teacher is found dead in her Somerset home, it looks like just another tragic passing—until a neighbor mentions an unexpected visitor shortly before her death. DCI Nick Dixon suspects foul play, and the autopsy confirms it: she was strangled.
As Dixon digs deeper, more bodies surface—another elderly victim in Devon, then a third exhumed in Dorset. The pattern is chilling, the method clinical, and the killer disturbingly precise.
Tasked with leading a regional task force, Dixon races to connect the victims before the murderer strikes again. But what ties them together? And why are the vulnerable being hunted in their own homes?
Every clue brings Dixon closer to a truth darker than he imagined. Can he stop the killer—before another life is taken?
