A fate worse than death…
DI Murphy and DS Rossi discover the body of known troublemaker Dean Hughes, dumped on the steps of St Mary’s Church in West Derby, Liverpool. His body is covered with the unmistakable marks of torture.

Where are the other missing boys being held?
And can Murphy and Rossi find them before they meet the same fate as Dean?
