For DI Colin Anderson, there's no such simple thing as right and wrong.
As his seemingly clear-cut conviction of paedophile Skelpie Fairbairn is
declared unsafe, Anderson finds himself under investigation. Pressure on
the DI mounts as an elusive criminal mastermind known as the Puppeteer
seems to be the link in a series of alarming events: a gangster torched
alive; a teenage boy tortured then dropped off a bridge; and the suicide
of a cop working on a decades-old, unsolved child kidnapping.
When a young girl dies in Anderson's arms after being left to drown, he
is at his wits' end. With Fairbairn as his only lead, is he prepared to
dance with the devil to solve her murder?
