Someone is killing witches in Whitechapel and Chandler is determined to catch them. As the mania of a witchhunt takes hold is there also a malign influence at work at the heart of the team?

The discovery of a flayed face in a Whitechapel gallery takes Chandler and Miles into the world of contemporary and historic art.

Is this killer more interested in the victim's skin than their death? As more flayed bodies turn up Chandler and Miles question the motives behind these bloody deeds.

Chandler and Miles are struggling to keep the team together, they have become fearful and fractured following Buchan's kidnap and there is an oppressive atmosphere in the police station.

The station is under attack and the forces of evil are moving against the team on all sides. The case becomes dangerously personal for Chandler, and he is forced to take desperate measures.
