Dans la région sauvage du Lake District, au centre de cercles de pierres, un tueur brûle vif des hommes fortunés âgés de soixante à soixante-dix ans. Aucun lien apparent entre les victimes, aucun indice, jusqu'au jour où l'on découvre gravé sur le torse de l'une d'elles un nom : Washington Poe. Celui de l'inspecteur-chef mis à pied pour une erreur ayant entraîné la mort d'un suspect ! Contraint par sa supérieure Stephanie Flynn de reprendre du service, Poe doit faire équipe avec Tilly Bradshaw, une geek surdouée mais socialement inadaptée.

Seit sechs Jahren sitzt der charismatische Sterne-Koch Jared Keaton im Gefängnis wegen Mordes an seiner eigenen Tochter. Zwar wurde die Leiche von Elizabeth nie gefunden, doch die hartnäckigen Ermittlungen von DS Washington Poe hatten schließlich zu Keatons Verhaftung und Verurteilung geführt. Als jetzt in einem Polizeirevier in Cumbria eine junge Frau auftaucht, die behauptet, Elizabeth Keaton zu sein, steht Poes Welt plötzlich auf dem Kopf. Denn eine DNA-Analyse scheint zweifelsfrei zu beweisen, dass die Frau die Wahrheit sagt. 

La dernière chose à laquelle on s'attend en déballant un cadeau, c'est bien de trouver à l'intérieur des fragments de corps humain... Bientôt, d'autres doigts sectionnés, accompagnés du même code cryptique, sont découverts dans des lieux aussi insolites que l'étal d'un boucher ou les fonts baptismaux d'une église. Face à ce jeu de pistes aussi macabre que déroutant, Washington Poe, de la National Crime Agency, pourra de nouveau compter sur Tilly Bradshaw, geek atypique, pour démêler les fils d'une enquête à double détente.

Ein Serienmörder foltert seine Opfer in den uralten Steinkreisen der Grafschaft Cumbria und verbrennt sie bei lebendigem Leibe. Der Täter hinterlässt keinerlei Spuren – bis die scheinbar willkürlichen Foltermale des dritten Opfers bei einer genauen Untersuchung den Namen "Washington Poe" ergeben. Könnte Detective Poe das nächste Opfer sein?
