Philanderer Ken Crossland goes missing and his abandoned car is found on DCI Alec Stainton's turf.A serial killer known as the Carver is terrorizing women across the country.As the hunt for Crossland intensifies,so the suspicion grows that he and the Carver are one and the same person.But the truth is different: Crossland is himself the victim of a deranged personality, someone whose fantasy life is spiralling dangerously into violence. With the police now concentrating exclisively on the search for the serial killer,it looks as if Crossland may not survive. . .
