Sir Dan Blackwater, well known businessman and philanthropist is found dead one morning in his home on the Isle of Wight. Pinned to the kitchen table with butcher's knives, he has been castrated in what looks like a gruesome act of revenge.
The only other person on the scene is his own PA, Sheena. But when DCI Charlie Trench brings her in for questioning, he discovers that she can't remember a thing about the events of last night - the shock seems to have caused her to lose her memory.
Unsure whether to believe Sheena's story, Trench calls in forensic psychologist Karen Taylor to help unblock Sheena's memory. But as Karen begins her investigation, she will discover there is much more to the Blackwaters than ever met the public eye. And as she lifts the lid on a truly scandalous history, she will put herself in more danger than she could possibly imagine.
Renowned businessman and philanthropist Sir Dan Blackwater is found dead in his house on the Isle of Wight. Spread-eagled on the kitchen table, his body has been mutilated and knives have been driven through his wrists and ankles. The only other person inside the locked house is his PA, Sheena Greeves.
Distraught and unable to remember anything that happened before her discovery of the body, she is DCI Charlie Trench's prime suspect. But he knows too much about the ways of lawyers to charge her yet and brings in forensic psychologist Karen Taylor to unlock her memory.
But Karen's work unlocks a lot more than a troubled mind, bringing to light some of the most unspeakable things one human being can do to another. And it will drive her into the hands of merciless thugs who will stop at nothing to protect their own secrets.
