In this gripping follow up to The Suburban Cage, evil has come once again to Sussex, weaving its way into the lives of ordinary people and leaving behind brutal slayings in its wake. Are dark forces actually being evoked or do these atrocities stem from the depraved mind of a cold, sadistic killer? As Detective Sergeant Adam Kent and his colleagues endeavour to unravel the complex mystery, Adam comes face to face with demons of his own as an unsettling suspicion comes back to haunt him, threatening to destroy his world. The trail of clues that surround the grisly murders lead Chichester Police to question if certain beliefs have any substance and a race against time ensues as Adam realises the evil is closer to home than he first thought. Adam must conquer his inner battles if he ever stands a chance of solving the case and saving the people he loves.
