Publisher's Synopsis
Manchester, 2002. The Commonwealth Games are coming to town and the city is alive with possibilities. Tom Benwell, account manager at an advertising firm, is caught up in the commercial feeding frenzy. There are too many deals to make and lies to tell, and Tom's passion for his job is waning. Meanwhile his friend, DI Jon Spicer, is on the fast track, showing a commitment to the job that borders on obsession. Then a series of brutal killings shatters the city's new found spirit. Each victim has been murdered in the same bizarre manner, yet the lack of motive leaves the police utterly baffled. With the race on to catch the killer, both men find themselves caught up in a nightmare.
