'While attending a crime scene on the outskirts of Maidstone, DI Kay Hunter makes a shocking discovery.

'The victim has been brutally cut to pieces, his identity unknown.

'When more body parts start turning up in the Kentish countryside, Kay realises the disturbing truth - a serial killer is at large and must be stopped at all costs.

'With no motive for the murders and a killer who has gone undetected until now, Kay and her team of detectives must work fast to calm a terrified local population and a scornful media.

'When a third victim is found, her investigation grows even more complicated.

'As she begins to expose a dark underbelly to the county town, Kay and her team are pulled into a web of jealousy and intrigue that, if left unchecked, will soon claim another life.'
