      V polích poblíž Edinburghu se najdetělo mladé dívky. Vše nasvědčuje tomu, že vražda má sexuální motiv, a její bestiální provedení nápadně připomíná podobný čin, k němuž došlo před několika lety. Tehdy tisk pachatele překřtil na Edinburského rozparovače. Snaží se ho někdo jen napodobit, nebo Rozparovač skutečně znovu udeřil? Na rozkaz nadřízeného a proti Brennanově vůli se do týmu vyšetřovatelů přidává inspektor, který tehdy nedokázal vraha vypátrat. Zdá se, že hraje nějakou vlastní hru a snaží se Brennana vystřídat na postu vyšetřujícího důstojníka. Podaří se Brennanovi odhalit pachatele a zároveň odolat intrikám ve vlastních řadách? Ti, kdo si poněkud svérázného detektivního inspektora oblíbili v předchozím románu, nebudou zklamáni ani tímto dílem. Tonymu Blackovi se opět podařilo vystihnout temnou, odvrácenou stranu skotského hlavního města a charakter postav, které se v tomto prostředí pohybují.
