April in
the Wicklow mountains and a young woman is found dead, seemingly sacrificed.
Accompanying her body is Chapter One of The Rule Book – a self-help
guide for prospective serial killers. The case is assigned to the National
Bureau of Criminal Investigation and headed up by Detective Superintendent
Colm McEvoy. Since the recent death of his wife, McEvoy is a shadow of his
