But closer examination reveals a more recent story. The dead man is Thaddeus Grey, a local secondary school principal who disappeared two years prior.Theres nothing in Greys past that would explain why he was murdered, or why his body was mutilated in a ritual manner.

His ex-girlfriend, Emma Sweeney, is in trouble, and shes reached out to him for help - Emmas new husband has gone missing in Paris, and the French police are refusing to open an investigation into his disappearance.Cormac is sure that he has found Greys killer, and is within hours of an arrest, when another mutilated body is discovered on the other side of the country. Two days later, a third body is found. Press attention is intense.
