Según cómo se mire, la imagen del fuego que consume dos barcas en el agua puede resultar hermosa. El inspector Banks, un hombre curtido por las tragedias extraliterarias, sabe que no se trata de un accidente, sino de una puesta en escena. A pesar del patrón evidente, y aunque los primeros resultados de la investigación indican que la intriga se sitúa en el mundillo de los falsificadores de obras de arte y estafadores varios, puede que estos crímenes no sean un fin en sí mismos.

Cuando los agentes de policía Janet Taylor y Dennis Morrisey son enviados a la casa para atender un caso de violencia doméstica, tropiezan con una espantosa escena: la muerte de uno y la lucha por sobrevivir y carrera del otro. El inspector Alan Banks se encuentra al frente de la operación de búsqueda de El Camaleón, un asesino en serie que ha secuestrado a cinco mujeres en la zona de Yorkshire. Pero la captura del asesino en serie es sólo el principio de una impresionante investigación que llevará a explorar los límites de todos y cada uno de los implicados en el caso.

Alguien espía desde los tejados y a través de las ventanas, alguien se inmiscuye en la vida íntima de unas mujeres que ni lo sospechan. Lo que excita a este voyeur no es sólo entrever la carne desnuda, sino también encontrarse con la mirada de horror de sus víctimas cuando descubren su presencia entre las sombras. Una mujer mayor aparece brutalmente asesinada en su casa. El inspector Banks se pregunta si se trata de un incidente aislado, o si acaso está relacionado con los otros crímenes que han venido sucediendo en el pueblito de Gallows View.

Yorkshire, Inglaterra, verano de 1969. Al finalizar un concierto de rock, un grupo de jóvenes encuentra el cadáver de una chica en el interior de un saco de dormir. Todo apunta a que ha sido brutalmente asesinada y a que su muerte guarda cierta relación con la banda de psicodelia Mad Hatters. Al menos, eso quedó reflejado en el expediente del caso, que en su momento fue investigado por un tal Stanley Chadwick.

Leeds, settembre 1969. Il primo festival rock all'aperto dello Yorkshire si è appena concluso sulle note dei Madd Hatters. Con gli occhi che bruciano per la stanchezza, Dave sta pulendo il prato, quando nota un sacco a pelo abbandonato. Lo tocca con la punta del piede: dentro c'è un corpo. Un drogato, pensa. Ma quando si china per guardare meglio si pente della propria curiosità. Leeds, ottobre 2005. L'ispettore Alan Banks si sta occupando dell'omicidio di Nick Barber, un giovane giornalista musicale.
