Exactly eighteen years later, Bryan Judd, Norma Jean's twin,
is pulled from the searing heat of a hospital incinerator. When his
charred remains are examined, the murder squad confirms that his death
was no accident. Could it somehow be linked to his sister's disappearance?
For DI Peter Shaw and DS George Valentine, the case proves their
most intriguing yet. As they begin their investigation into Bryan's
life, they uncover a secret world of criminal activity in Bryan's
neighbourhood and at the hospital where he died. Can Shaw and
Valentine solve Bryan's murder before any more lives are violently
snatched away? And will they ever learn the truth about what happened
to Norma Jean?
