By the end of that night, both had been shot dead in a bedroom in the heart of gang territory. Manchester DI Erika Piper is at a loss to explain what happened. How did these two even meet, let alone end up dead in what appears to be a strange murder-suicide? As Erika leads the investigation, two others are killed in a similar fashion. One murder, one suicide. Is someone orchestrating these tragedies like a kind of macabre puppet show? As she delves deeper into the lives of the victims, a catastrophic event threatens to derail the whole investigation . . .
