Raymond Garvey was a terrifying serial killer who was active and caught around the time DI Tom Thorne was starting his career. He didn't do much on that case but he was involved peripherally and he hasn't forgotten Garvey who ended up dying in prison from a brain tumor. Now, someone is determined that Thorne won't forget; they are killing the children of the original victims.
The killer is a man who believes that he is the son of Garvey and wants Thorne to create buzz to vindicate Garvey's name, believing that he killed due to the brain tumor. That isn't true as he killed long before the tumor was found but it is one of the killer's delusions. He is steadily working his way through the original victims' children as Thorne and his crew try to find him. Who will win this grisly game?
This is the eighth Tom Thorne novel in the series. In this one, Thorne and Louisa reach a new level of closeness in their relationship and it is changing Tom. But one thing will never change. Thorne cannot let a murder go; his total focus and concentration is on the case until it is over. Can that work with a long term relationship? This book is recommended for mystery readers.
