Publisher's Synopsis
The gruesome discovery of a decaying torso and a head, in two separate holdall bags, sets Detective Chief Inspector Masterson and his team into action to find the killer. With a distinctive blue butterfly tattoo on the torso's back, they question the recent disappearance of a high-profile female celebrity and whether the two cases are linked. A ransom note is sent to her two brothers - are they or their uncle implicated in some way or is there someone else involved? Attempting to piece together this intricate puzzle of clues, the shrewd thief-taker, DCI Masterson, chases witnesses, suspected drug dealers and a possible mole within his own team. Coping with a poorly mother in hospital, his own health issues and intrusive hierarchy, will he be able to overcome all the obstacles and crack the case?
