Private investigator Harry Hargreaves and his partner, Sabina Harris, along with the RCMP are investigating the disappearance of a young woman. Unable to find either leads or suspects, the pressure builds. When a young girl from Singapore also goes missing, the investigation turns international and political. Now the matriarch of Chinatown joins the chase, and the media has a field day. When two disemboweled bodies covered in strange markings are discovered in the bush around Harbour City and a third girl disappears, everybody gets caught up in a tsunami of events that sweeps them deeper and deeper into the dark, murderous world of a psychopathic killer.
