M.W. Craven Book order (chronological)

Při vyšetřování šokujících vražd a únosu, k nimž došlo v londýnských ulicích, se objeví i jméno Bena Koeniga. Ben nemá nejmenší tušení, proč se na něj obrací o pomoc lidé z nejvyšších kruhů CIA. Brzy ovšem vyjde najevo, že zná ženu, která vraždy spáchala. Před deseti lety dostal za úkol zinscenovat její zmizení. Teprve nyní se však dozvídá, že tato žena střeží tajemství, které by dokázalo zničit celou západní civilizaci. Jestliže se nyní znovu objevila, znamená to, že nebezpečí zesílilo a je mnohem děsivější, než si kdokoli dokázal představit. Ben Koenig ji musí najít dřív, než bude pozdě. Má to ale malý háček. Ben trpí Urbachovým-Wietheho syndromem, což znamená, že ztratil schopnost cítit strach. Ne vždy tak dokáže rozpoznat, kdy je čas to vzdát a kdy svým jednáním ohrožuje všechny kolem sebe.

Detective Sergeant Washington Poe is in court, fighting eviction from his beloved and isolated croft, when he is summoned to a backstreet brothel in Carlisle where a man has been beaten to death with a baseball bat. Poe is confused - he hunts serial killers and this appears to be a straightforward murder-by-pimp - but his attendance was requested personally, by the kind of people who prefer to remain in the shadows. As Poe and the socially awkward programmer Tilly Bradshaw delve deeper into the case, they are faced with seemingly unanswerable questions: despite being heavily vetted for a high-profile job, why does nothing in the victim's background check out? Why was a small ornament left at the murder scene - and why did someone on the investigation team steal it? And what is the connection to a flawlessly executed bank heist three years earlier, a heist where nothing was taken..

A strange message is left at each scene: #BSC6 Called in to investigate, the National Crime Agency's Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw are faced with a case that makes no sense. Why were some victims anaesthetized, while others died in appalling agony? Why is their only suspect denying what they can irrefutably prove but admitting to things they weren't even aware of? And why did the victims all take the same two weeks off work three years earlier? And when a disgraced FBI agent gets in touch things take an even darker turn. Because she doesn't think Poe is dealing with a serial killer at all; she thinks he's dealing with someone far, far worse - a man who calls himself the Curator. And nothing will ever be the same again . . . 'Intelligent. Sophisticated. Intriguing.' Mari Hannah 'Gloriously dark and twisted.'
