Forensic physician Dr Anya Crichton has taken a part-time job at the Sexual Assault Unit. A deranged rapist is attacking women and Anya does all she can to help the victims, some of whom are too distraught to report the attacks to the police.

Unravelling the forensic evidence, Anya knows she faces an enormous ethical dilemma. If her findings are correct, she is about to blow the whistle and ruin a fellow pathologist's career. In the process, Anya realises that she may be helping a rapist and murderer go free...
