DCC Bob Skinner has a failed marriage on his hands and a death on his conscience but little time to deal with either as he faces the biggest challenge of his career within the secret corridors where dark power is wielded. But this isn’t his only issue: he’s also trying to protect his daughter from a stalker; a bookmaker has taken one gamble too many and paid his debt in a gruesome fashion; and a casual call to the Chief Constable sets him on a personal crusade which quickly points to a bigamist at work. Or is it worse? Four crimes four crises: can Skinner and his people solve them?
