Detective Chief Inspector Andrew Fenwick is investigating some information that came originally from the USA. It would seem that there is a paedophile ring operating in his locality and, worryingly, it's been in existence for a number of years and might well be involved in the murders of local boys. One body, buried twenty five years ago, has recently been discovered and another boy, missing for nearly as long, has presumably met the same fate. There's additional pressure because an eleven-year-old schoolboy has recently gone missing from his home.
