A man is dead.
The killer is a woman.
What secrets lie beneath the surface - so dark that a man has to die?

Women are rarely cold blooded killers. But when famous philanthropist Hugo Fletcher is found dead, there is no doubt in anybody's mind that the killer is a woman. And it is clear from the precision of the planning that this was no crime of passion.

It was an execution.

The victim was revered the world over for his charitable work with trafficked Eastern European prostitutes, and as at least one of these girls is missing, Detective Chief Inspector Tom Douglas is certain that there has to be a connection. But nothing is as it appears on the surface.

As each horrific secret in a complex web of lies is exposed, Tom Douglas begins to realise that this is much more than a simple murder case. But nothing prepares him for the truth, and he finds himself faced with a terrible dilemma: whether to punish the guilty, or protect the innocent.
