As Blackport University starts a new academic year, two more girls fall victim to the killer they are calling the Beast of Blackport. Students, prostitutes . . . no attractive redhead is safe, and Detective Inspector Dave Shenfield is at breaking point. He knows that Gavin O'Driscoll, once a student at Blackport, has returned to the town where he took his first victim seven years ago before disappearing into thin air. But can he prove it?
Meanwhile, a new student has arrived at the univerisity, with a background more sheltered than most. Flora Castledine is pretty. Red-haired . . .While Flora falls in love and Shenfield grapples with unsympathetic colleagues, the murderer hits out once more with devastating consequences for each of them. The victim should have been Flora Castledine, and only Shenfield can save her.
