A human skull. A message carved into bone. A killer intent on bringing a gruesome secret to light.

A woman’s skull is discovered mounted on a spear in a quiet garden just outside Leeds. Etched into the bone is a cryptic five-by-five grid of Latin words.

Detective Inspector Stewart Gardener has never faced a case like this before. The skull is fresh, but it’s almost impossible to identify the victim. The murderer has meticulously stripped away all the hair and skin — and there’s no sign of the rest of the body . . .

As Gardner and his team investigate, the DI is unsettled by connections to a past case. But worse is to come.

More disembodied skulls. Each carefully arranged for Gardener and his team to discover. And every murder links back to one of his previous cases.

Soon, Gardener is forced to wonder if he’s not just hunting a deranged serial killer, who’s desperate for his attention — but if the next skull the team find will be his.

Someone is determined to make sure the past is remembered — whatever it takes.
