Publisher's Synopsis
DI David Murphy and DS Laura Rossi make a grisly discovery: the body of a teenage boy, dumped in front of a church in Liverpool. His torso covered with the unmistakable marks of torture. And a shocking fact soon comes to light. 17-year-old Dean Hughes was reported missing six months ago, yet no-one has been looking for him. A known troublemaker, who cared if he was dead or alive? But soon the police realise Dean isn't the only boy who's gone missing in similar circumstances. Someone has been abducting troubled teens. Someone who thinks they're above the law. Someone with terrifying plans for them.
