Nick Price's life is thrown into turmoil when a mysterious stranger stalks his family and wreaks havoc on his business. Convinced a malevolent presence has crawled out of his murky past to seek vengeance, his family fear for his sanity.

But not Detective Chief Inspector Jack Magee. He's not convinced Nick Price is the innocent party, especially since evidence left at the scene of a series of murders points to his involvement. Instead, he suspects Nick may be engaging in a tit-for-tat war of attrition against a drug baron trying to muscle in on his territory.

Believing that he'll find answers to his case in Nick Price's past, DCI Magee is lured into the deepest, darkest depths of Nick's former low life existence, only to find the most evil, murderous monster waiting for him. A monster the authorities can't touch. A monster determined to kill both DCI Magee and Nick Price.
