Keď na pôde univerzity nájdu telá troch vedcov, ktorí zomreli za zvláštnych okolností, na mieste činu okamžite zatknú jediného podozrivého: Victora Lazara, rumunského prisťahovalca. Po nevysvetliteľných samovraždách, ktoré sa vo väznici odohrajú po jeho príchode, ho premiestnia na samotku, do bloku určeného pre najnebezpečnejších väzňov. Victorovi musia vypracovať psychologický posudok, ktorým poveria Alexa Madisona, bývalého forenzného psychológa, ktorý sa po nevydarenom prípade uchýlil k súkromnej praxi ako terapeut solventných klientov. Alex má podozrenie, že Victor svoje obete ovláda, využívajúc na to istý druh tranzu. Ale je také niečo skutočne možné?

A dark, simmering suspense thriller that asks how much we can really trust those closest to us, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Mark Edwards and Sue Watson.

For Alex, the case has a personal resonance he can’t reveal: he knows pain and addiction all too well, and must fight to control his own downward spiral long enough to stop the killer’s campaign of cruelty.As Alex closes in on the killer, it becomes clear that there are darker forces at work, and a connection to his previous case ignites his worst fears. When he uncovers the shocking truth behind the killer’s motivations, Alex must decide: should he pursue the police’s version of justice—or hunt down the sinister organisation that has warped another soul?
