Katie Drake was an affluent single mother living in Queen's Park - until someone cut her throat and tore out her tongue. Worse still, the killer has abducted her 14-year-old daughter, Naomi. Detective Chief Inspector Grant Foster quickly sees chilling parallels with the disappearance of teenage Leonie Stamey three years earlier.

Таинственный маньяк отрубает жертвам кисти рук и вырезает у них на груди странные комбинации букв и цифр. Детектив Грант Фостер, ведущий дело, установил: кровавые надписи - это регистрационные номера свидетельств о рождении, смерти и заключении брака. Грант Фостер обращается за помощью к известному специалисту по генеалогии, историку Найджелу Барнсу. В ходе расследования Фостер и Варне приходят к неожиданным выводам: маньяк в точности копирует серию из пяти убийств, за совершение которых некто Айк Файрбен был повешен... еще в 1879 году!

When the naked, mutilated body of a man is found in a Notting Hill graveyard and the police investigation led by Detective Chief Inspector Grant Foster and his colleague Detective Superintendent Heather Jenkins yields few results, a closer look at the corpse reveals that what looked at first glance like superficial knife wounds on the victim's chest is actually a string of carved letters and numbers, an index number referring to a file in city archives containing birth and death certificates and marriage licenses. Family historian Nigel Barnes is put on the case. As one after another victim is found in various locations all over London, each with a different mutilation but the same index number carved into their skin, Barnes and the police work frantically to figure out how the corresponding files are connected. With no clues to be found in the present, Barnes must now search the archives of the past to solve the mystery behind a string of 100-year-old murders. Only then will it be possible to stop the present series of gruesome killings, but will they be able to do so before the killer ensnares his next victim? Barnes, Foster, and Jenkins enter a race against time and before the end of the investigation, one of them will get much too close for comfort.
