Billionaire Sir James Taylor has been missing for three weeks. Then his headless torso turns up in the basement of a disused East London warehouse.

How could someone so rich and famous disappear without a trace? And who would want to tear him limb from limb?

Chief Inspector Brian Hooley knows his Special Investigations Unit needs help if they’re to have any chance of catching this depraved killer. And there’s only one man for the job: Jonathan Roper.

Roper is one of Scotland Yard’s top investigators—exceptionally clever and doggedly determined. His autism means he sees the world differently, and he’s always spotting things that no one else can.

A break in the case finally arrives. Roper unearths a gruesome snuff video from the dark web. It shows Sir James being mauled by a pair of vicious Neapolitan mastiffs.
