**THE RITUAL HAS TO END. SOON.**  
  
**Greenwich, south-east London:** **Detective Inspector Jack Caffery** - young, driven, unshockable - is called to one of the most gruesome crime scenes he has ever seen. Five young women have been ritualistically murdered and dumped on wasteland near **the Millennium Dome**. Subsequent post-mortems reveal a singular, horrific signature linking the victims.  
  
Soon Caffery realises that he is on the trail of that most dangerous offender: **a serial killer**. Beset by animosity within the police force, haunted by the memory of a very personal death long ago, Caffery employs every weapon forensic science can offer to hunt him down.  
  
**Because he knows that it is only a matter of time before this sadistic killer strikes again...**
