Genealogist Nigel Barnes is brought into a police search for a serial killer who is scratching a serial number on his victims and dismembering each of them in a unique way. The murders echo a series of killings more than 100 years ago and Nigel must trace the links between the victims then and the victims now, to solve not only the murders in 2006 but also in 1879.

Review:
There's panache aplenty in this intriguing tale. Sharp plotting, elegant writing, engaging characters, a cracking climax. A series is promised. Bring it on! (Reginald Hill)
Synopsis:
It's not the best start to DCI Grant Foster's day: standing over a mutilated body in a windswept London churchyard. Although the killer has left a cryptic and brutal clue. It is only when the clue is handed to Nigel Barnes, a specialist in compiling family trees, that the full message becomes spine-chillingly clear. For it leads Barnes back more than 100 years - to the victim of a demented Victorian serial killer...When a second body is discovered, Foster needs Barnes's skills more than ever. Because the murderer's clues appear to run along the tangled bloodlines that lie between 1879 and now. And if Barnes is right about his blood-history, the killing has only just begun...
