Jack Garrett is almost on the scene when the first of the Premiership footballers is murdered. He's a crime reporter and his Soho flat overlooks the street where Henri Dumas was shot. He should probably count himself lucky as there are two dead estate agents in a nearby flat, victims of the same killer. Before long another footballer is dead. How are these deaths linked to the murder and rape of a teenager in Jack Garrett's home town some ten years before?
