After a fire rips through a North London tower block, two bodies are found locked in an eleventh-floor flat. But it is the third victim - the MP Geoff Armstrong - that requires the presence of detective Maeve Kerrigan and the murder squad. It appears that Armstrong, trapped by the fire, chose to jump to his death rather than wait for rescue. But why? And what was the controversial right-wing politician doing there in the first place? As Maeve picks through the wreckage, she will uncover a secret world where everyone has something to hide.

Jenny Shephard is twelve years old and missing. Her teacher, Sarah Finch, knows better than most that the chances of finding her alive are diminishing every day. As a little girl Sarah's older brother went out to play and never come home. The strain of not knowing what happened to him tore her family apart. When Sarah finds Jenny's body, beaten and abandoned in the woods near her home, she is drawn into the heart of the investigation and a media storm. Her presence at the scene arouses suspicions. But it is not just the police that are watching her.

The media call him The Burning Man, a brutal murderer who has beaten four young women to death before setting their bodies ablaze in secluded areas of London's parks. And now the fifth victim has been found. Maeve Kerrigan is an ambitious detective constable, keen to make her mark on the murder task force. Her male colleagues believe Maeve's empathy makes her weak, but the more she learns about the latest victim, Rebecca Haworth, from her grieving friends and family, the more determined Maeve becomes to bring her murderer to justice. But how do you catch a killer no one has ever seen?

He meets women. He gains their trust. He kills them. That's all Maeve Kerrigan knows about the man she is hunting. Three women have been targeted in their homes by the same sadistic killer. With no sign of a break-in, every indication shows that they let him in. But the evidence is pointing at a shocking suspect: DI Josh Derwent, Maeve's colleague. Maeve refuses to believe he could be involved, but how well does she really know him? Because this isn't the first time Derwent's been accused of murder.

To the public, he's a hero: a killer who targets convicted paedophiles. Two men have already been tortured to death and, for the police, their cases are not a priority. But DC Maeve Kerrigan believes that no one should be allowed to take the law into their own hands. As the killer's violence begins to escalate, Maeve is forced to confront exactly how far she's prepared to go to ensure justice is served.

A woman and her teenage daughter are found murdered in their South London home. The girl's throat has been cut. Her mother stabbed to death. When DC Maeve Kerrigan arrives at the scene, her first thought is that this is a domestic dispute gone bad. But the husband - found bloody and unconscious in an upstairs room - insists he's the third victim not the killer. With Maeve's only witness refusing to talk, how will she unravel the truth?

A killer is terrorising London and this time the police are the targets. Urgently re-assigned to investigate a series of attacks on fellow officers, Maeve Kerrigan and her boss Josh Derwent have little idea what motivates the killer's fury against the force. And they know it will only be a matter of time before the killer strikes again.
